about

This is a collection of all three of G.R.S. Mead's comprehensive surveys of the literature attributed to the legendary Egyptian sage, Hermes Trismegistus. 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. Volume contents are: Vol. 1. Prolegomena., Vol. 2. Sermons, Vol. 3. Excerpts and fragments. This work exemplifies all that is best in Mead's dedicated, scholarly, but eminently readable studies of the spiritual roots of Christian Gnosticism and, more generally, of personal religion in the Greco-Roman world. His work encompassed much more than this; Mead was equally at home with Sanskrit texts, Patristic literature, Buddhist thought, and the problems of contemporary philosophy and psychical research. He devoted his intellectual energy to the complex interplay of Gnosticism, Hellenism, Judaism, and Christianity. This three volume set presents his insights into the formation of the Gnostic world-view and establishes him as an outstanding translator of these Hermetic books, and as the first modern scholar of Gnostic tradition. Inside you will find translations of such Hermetic works as the Corpus Hermeticum and The Perfect Sermon, and other texts including The History Of The Evolution Of Opinion, Thoth The Master Of Wisdom, The Popular Theurgic Hermes-Cult In The Greek Magic Papyri, The Main Source Of The Trismegistic Literature According To Manetho, High Priest Of Egypt, An Egyptian Prototype Of The Main Features Of The Poemandres’ Cosmogony 7. The Myth Of Man In The Mysteries, and Philo Of Alexandria And The Hellenistic Theology.

If you are interested in the character and archetype of Hermes Trismegistus and Hermeticism in general, this text is vital to any collection.

I use this album to fall asleep. The melodies bring me to the ancient Europe, back in the neolithic. The drum beat on Dégom is very relaxing. skeld

Shortwave Ruins
by Mount Shrine

supported by 4 fans who also own “Thrice-Greatest Hermes (Full Audiobook)”

It's hard to put into words what this album makes me feel. It's deep, it's otherwordly, it's full of nostalgia and longing, it's warmth in a cold place, finding shelter in the chaotic ruins of worlds and lives long gone by, it's what the last man on earth hears listening to his scrapped up shortwave radio while looking out from his shelter over a desolate wasteland while rain pours down and nature silently reclaims the former realms of mankind. I will listen to Cesar's work until I die aswell. Schattenseitenträumer

'Paleowolf' is on the forefront of the new-ambient genre. Echo the footprints of a forgotten world, still resonating through history and "the ages". Strap yourself in, and let yourself be transported to an ancient world filled with unknown peril. reb1138
