Description:
United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press, 1986. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback. A Historical Approach to the Pagan Mind. Sage, scientist, and sorcerer, Hermes Trismegistus was the culture-hero of Hellenistic and Roman Egypt. A human (according to some) who had lived about the time of Moses, but now indisputably a god, he was credited with the authorship of a whole library of books on magic and the supernatural, alchemy, astrology, theology, and philosophy. Until the early 17th century, few doubted the attribution. Even when unmasked, Hermes remained a byword for the arcane. Historians of ancient philosophy have puzzled much over the origins of his mystical teachings; but this is the first investigation of the Hermetic milieu by a social historian. First Edition.
