520    Hermes Trismegistus, "thrice-great Hermes," emerged from 
       the amalgamation of the wisdom gods Hermes and Thoth and 
       is one of the most enigmatic figures of intellectual 
       history. Since antiquity, the legendary "wise Egyptian" 
       has been considered the creator of several mystical and 
       magical writings on such topics as alchemy, astrology, 
       medicine, and the transcendence of God. Philosophers of 
       the Renaissance celebrated Hermes Trismegistus as the 
       founder of philosophy, Freemasons called him their 
       forefather, and Enlightenment thinkers championed 
       religious tolerance in his name. To this day, Hermes 
       Trismegistus is one of the central figures of the occult--
       his name is synonymous with the esoteric. -- Publisher
