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 description. 600 00 Hermes,|cTrismegistus. 600 02 Hermes,|cTrismegistus. 600 07 Hermes,|cTrismegistus.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00062364 650 0 Hermetism|xHistory. 650 7 Hermetism.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00955517 650 22 Occultism|xHistory. 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Lorton, David,|d1945-2011. 700 1 Assmann, Jan. 994 92|bCKE
