Book Description
This is the edition including all three books. The so-called Hermetic writings have been known to Christian writers for many centuries. The early church Fathers (Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria) quote them in defense of Christianity. Stobaeus collected fragments of them. The Humanists knew and valued them. They were studied in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and in modern times have again been diligently examined by many scholars. G. R. S. Mead has issued a translation of the whole body of extant literature, with extended prolegomena, commentary, etc. There is a wide difference of opinion as to the date at which this literature was produced. Mead believes that some of the extant portions of it are at least as early as the earliest Christian writings, while von Christ assigns them to the third Christian century, and thinks that they show the influence of neo-Platonism. To affirm that they influenced New Testament usage would be hazardous, but they perhaps throw some light on the direction in which thought was moving in New Testament times.

Book Description
Hermes Trismegistus, the Thrice-Great Hermes, is a figure shrouded in mystery. Some say he was a man who saw the face of the gods, some say he became a god, some say he was born of the gods and placed here to show us the Path. This is the third of three volumes, translated and compiled and translated by accomplished Gnostic scholar G.R.S. Mead, of the sermons and lessons in the collected writings of the sage Hermes Trismegistus. These teaching have educated such figures as Dion Fortune, Aleister Crowley, and every initiate into the mysterious Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

Book Description
Large print edition, fully annotated (commentaries and 795 footnotes), easy-to-read layout. G.R.S. Mead was a noted and influential member of the Theosophical Society. He studied the Hermetic and Gnostic religions of Late Antiquity. Mead's huge book-Thrice-Greatest Hermes- is a classic work on the philosophical Hermetica and the figure of Hermes Trismegistus. This third volume (Excerpts and Fragments-400 pp.) gives the excerpts and fragments that make up the rest of the Hermetica, namely from Stobaeus, but also from the Fathers (Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Augustine, etc.) and the philosophers of antiquity (Zosimus, Jamblichus, Fulgentius, etc.), with commentary following each section. This volume offers substantial quotes from a wealth of sources (edition fully annotated with 795 footnotes). This book is well worth reading for all those who wish to study the Corpus Hermeticum in its entirety.
