The Secret History of Hermes Trismegistus

Hermeticism from Ancient to Modern Times

by Florian Ebeling · David Lorton (trans.)

A compact survey of how the figure of Hermes Trismegistus and the writings attributed to him were received from late antiquity to the modern era. Ebeling gives particular attention to the early modern debates over Hermes' antiquity and to Hermetic ideas in alchemy, Freemasonry and Egyptology.
