This reprint comprises Volume One of Scott's four volume work on Hermes Trismegistus. "Hermes Trismegistus is the ascribed author of the Hermetica, an extensive corpus of Greek and Latin writings composed during the time of the Roman Empire. Variously considered a philosopher, magician, and mythological figure, Hermes Trismegistus and the Hermetica have been a subject of perennial fascination for generations.... First published in 1924, this classic...work contains various Greek and Latin writings of religious or philosophic teachings ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus, with Walter Scott's extensive notes, commentary, and addenda. It is said that these teachings are records of private, intimate talks between a teacher and one or two of his disciples. The setting was in Egypt under the Roman Empire, among men who had received some instruction in Greek philosophy, and especially the Platonism of the period, but were not content with merely accepting and repeating the cut-and-dried dogmas of the orthodox philosophic schools and sought to build up, on a basis of Platonic doctrine, a philosophic religion that would better satisfy their needs." From the Shambala Publications Website. Contents: I. Introduction, texts and translation --II. Notes on the Corpus Hermeticum -- III. Notes on the Latin Asclepius and the Hermetic excerpts of Stobaeus -- IV. Testimonia, with introduction, addenda and indices by A.S. Ferguson.
