About this book

Thrice Greatest Hermes: Studies in Hellenistic Theosophy and Early Christian Literature

Author: G.R.S. Mead

Year: 1906

Thrice Greatest Hermes is a scholarly investigation into the Hermetic corpus and its synthesis of Greek, Egyptian, and Near Eastern mystical thought. G.R.S. Mead examines the Corpus Hermeticum , the Asclepius , and related writings, showing how Hermeticism influenced early Christian mysticism, Gnosticism, and Renaissance philosophy. He also explores the concept of the "divine man" and the role of secret wisdom in antiquity. This volume is essential reading for students of esoteric traditions, Neoplatonism, and the philosophical undercurrents of Western spirituality.
