Utter nonsense! November 13, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It is well done to make not one, but two mistakes on the title page! And grave ones, at that! First of all, there is no such person as "Hermes Trismestigustus". This is a misspelling of Trismegistus, "Thrice-Great", whereas the closest thing to a meaning in Trismestigustus would perhaps be "the thrice full of taste" (combining greek and latin). Funny enough, but little relation to the topic...
Secondly, the title is supposed to be Corpus Hermeticum, but looking inside I notice that the text bears little resemblance to any form I know of the Corpus Hermeticum. Well, good luck to the Thrice-full-of-Taste on selling his forgeries!
For those interested, the real thing, translated by Brian Copenhaver, can be found here: Hermetica: The Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius in a New English Translation, with Notes and Introduction, or by Clement Salaman et al. Here: The Way of Hermes: New Translations of The Corpus Hermeticum and The Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius
