Reseña del libro "The Divine Pymander: And Other Writings of Hermes Trismegistus"
2018 Reprint of 1882 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Hermes Trismegistus was an Egyptian sage, or succession of sages, whom the Greeks identified with the Egyptian God Thoth. He was the custodian of wisdom, learning and literature and was known as "Thrice-Greatest" due to his great learning and rank as Philosophr, Priest and King. His teachings deal with astrology, priestly education, temple ritual and medicine. The Divine Pymander is a collection of dialogues giving an account of the creation of the world reminiscent of Genesis and anticipating the great Judao-Christian scriptural tradition. The Pymander, meaning guide or shepherd of men, gives instructions to Hermes the sage, in the capacity of Divine Teacher to human students. In addition to a translation of the pymanders themselves, this work contains excerpts from the works of Hermes made by Stobaeus in the fifth or sixth centuries and a section on references to Hermes in the works of the early Church fathers such as Justin Martyr and Cyprian.
