Hermetica
The Hermetica are a body of theological-philosophical texts written in late antiquity, but long believed to be much older.

This first English translation based on reliable texts, together with Brian P. Copenhaver's comprehensive introduction, provide an indispensable resource to scholars in ancient philosophy and religion, early Christianity, Renaissance literature, and history, the history of science, and the occultist tradition in which the Hermetica have become canonical texts.
- First time paperback of successful new edition of the Hermetica
- Highly acclaimed translation, introduction and notes
- Of interest in ancient philosophy, religion (the occult), history of science, Renaissance literature and history
