Hermetic Books

This collection of writings deals with religious and philosophical subjects and reflects a degree of syncretism with reference to Platonic, Stoic, Neo-Pythagorean, and Eastern religious thought. The collection dates from the second or third century and is ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus which represents a later designation for the Egyptian god Thoth, who was said to be the source and protector of all knowledge. The literary form of the Hermetic Books is basically that of the Platonic dialogue. The single most significant of the several writings is “Poimandres,” which tells of the soul's ascent to God through the various spheres of the planets.
