Hermetica: The Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius (specifically the widely regarded translation by Brian Copenhaver) is a comprehensive collection of 2nd-3rd century AD Greco-Egyptian theological texts. Attributed to the mythical sage Hermes Trismegistus, these works explore philosophy, divine knowledge (gnosis), cosmology, and the soul’s ascent to God. The collection focuses on the path to divine knowledge (gnosis) as the means to salvation and liberation from the limitations of the material world.
