These writing were believed from antiquity up to the early seventeenth century to be the writings of Hermes Trismegistus, 'thrice-great Hermes', the name given by Greeks of the classical and Hellenistic periods to the Ibis-headed Egyption god Thoth. They were central to the spiritual work of Hermetic societies in late antique Alexandria, aiming to awake gnosis, the direct realistion of the truth of the identity of the invividual and the Supreme, and are still read as inspirational writings today. Professor Mahe's translation of ""The Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius"" has been made from an old Armenian version and a recently rediscovered Greek manuscript in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. This collection of aphorisms is closely related to parts of the ""Corpus Hermeticum"". ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 12.7 x 0.89 x 20.32 cm | | Edition | New | | Isbn 10 | 0715630938 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0715630938 | | Item Weight | 146 g | | Language | English | | Print Length | 124 pages | | Publication Date | 27 April 2001 | | Publisher | Bristol Classical Press | ## Images ![The Way of Hermes: New Translations of the "Corpus Hermeticum" and the "Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qlXQOm80L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Shepherd of Souls *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 June 2013* The Way of Hermes is an excellently translated and portable edition of the Corpus Hermeticum. It comes with me on my travels throughout the world and is my book before bedtime, since its wisdom is inexhaustible. Every line is a path into the hinterland of understanding the cosmos. Hermes as the Shepherd of Souls leads the way by revealing what is real and known to the soul. Even though his revelations deal with that which seem invisible or inapprehensible to the senses, he sharpens his teaching to reveal it these concepts in better definition. These are the topics that the soul wonders about: creation, the divine, what aids understanding and how to avoid what traps and imprisons the soul in misapprehension.So simple and so profound, Hermes' writings are mysteries that act as doorways. As a parallel Hermetic text, the Kore Kosmou, says of him:`When Hermes laid down his books, he said, "O sacred books of the Immortals, in whose pages my hand has recorded the remedies by which incorruptibility is conferred, remain for ever beyond the reach of destruction and decay, invisible and concealed from all who frequent these regions, until the day shall come in which the ancient heaven shall bring forth instruments worthy of you, whom the Creator shall call souls." Having pronounced upon his books, he wrapped them in their coverings, returned into the sphere which belonged to him, and all remained hidden for a sufficient space.'Those writings are hidden in the very elements, in the depths of the soul, waiting for us all to discover them. A word, a note of music, a dream or vision can activate Hermes' wisdom. Read and meditate! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice translation *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 October 2020* This translation of the Corpus Hereticum is very readable and well worth its weight. The newer edition I bought also contains a hermetic text translated from Armenian. A great read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Invaluable & Timeless Wisdom *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 May 2015* This came highly recommended from a fellow mystic and it doesn't disappoint. Priceless wisdom that gives you insight into the unfolding mystery of 'what we are'. For anyone looking for a greater spiritual understanding of the world and Hermetic thought this is where you start. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Way of Hermes: New Translations of the "Corpus Hermeticum" and the "Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius" - Asclepius: A Secret Discourse of Hermes Trismegistus --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/77334032-the-way-of-hermes-new-translations-of-the-corpus-hermeticum](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/77334032-the-way-of-hermes-new-translations-of-the-corpus-hermeticum) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
