Brian P. Copenhaver's scholarly English translation of the Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius, the main philosophical writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. A substantial introduction surveys the texts' late antique origins and their reception in the Renaissance, while detailed notes address language, sources and interpretation. Published in 1992, it is widely regarded as the standard academic edition in English and an essential foundation for the study of Hermeticism.
