Hermetica: The Lost Wisdom Of The Pharaohs

Author: Freke, Timothy & Gandy, Peter

The publisher, David Groff , April 19, 1999
Book Description
The first accessible translation of the great forgotten Egyptian classic that has influenced Western thought for more than five thousand years. The Hermetica is a classic piece of sacred literature, believed to have been written around 3000 B.C. by the Egyptian sage Hermes. So revered and honored was Hermes, and so great was his wisdom, that he was given the title Trismegistus, meaning "thrice-great," and was eventually considered a god. His writings, which influenced much of ancient Egyptian and Greek and modern Western thought and civilization, are without question as important as such well-known Eastern scriptures including the Upanishads, the Dhammapada, and the Tao Te Ching. In the past, translations of this ancient book were written primarily for scholars, archaeologists, and anthropologists. Now Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy, two respected scholars of Western religion and philosophy, have done painstaking research to present a collection of excerpts that are easily understood by and relevant to, today's reader. Providing a fascinating introduction to the mystical philosophy of ancient Egypt and Greece that has shaped our world for five millennia, The Hermetica is a book for anyone interested in the first great Western civilization or in the knowledge of sacred traditions from all corners of the world. TIMOTHY FREKE is the author of many books on mystical philosophy, including The Tao Te Ching and, with PETER GANDY, The Complete Guide to World Mysticism.
