Hermetica I: The Corpus Hermeticum, Asclepius, and Nag Hammadi Hermetica Ordered as a Path of Initiation

Condition: (VG+)

by Dr. David Litwa, PhD

The Hermetic corpus is a spiritual and intellectual treasure stemming from ancient Egyptian sages who could write and think in Greek. Since the Renaissance, this corpus has appeared in an order that does not fit the path of spiritual initiation suggested by the corpus itself. The present edition reorders the corpusβ€”including the Latin Asclepius and the Nag Hammadi Hermeticaβ€”into four progressing parts: introductory tractates, general discourses, detailed discourses, and revelatory discourses. A short spiritual commentary follows each tractate. The book is written for all lovers of the Hermetica, but in particular for those who are willing, in some sense, to join the way of immortality.
