Hermeticism & Neoplatonism

The Way of Hermes

New Translations of the Corpus Hermeticum

by Clement Salaman, Dorine van Oyen, William D. Wharton, Jean-Pierre Mahé

A readable modern translation of the Corpus Hermeticum by Clement Salaman, Dorine van Oyen and William D. Wharton, together with Jean-Pierre Mahé's translation of the Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius, a text preserved in Armenian. The translators aim for clarity and spiritual immediacy while remaining faithful to the sources. It complements more heavily annotated academic editions and suits readers approaching the Hermetic writings as contemplative texts.
