Summary
Details

Large print edition, fully annotated (commentaries and 795 footnotes), easy-to-read layout.

G.R.S. Mead was a noted and influential member of the Theosophical Society. He studied the Hermetic and Gnostic religions of Late Antiquity. Mead's huge book-Thrice-Greatest Hermes- is a classic work on the philosophical Hermetica and the figure of Hermes Trismegistus. This third volume (Excerpts and Fragments-400 pp.) gives the excerpts and fragments that make up the rest of the Hermetica, namely from Stobaeus, but also from the Fathers (Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Augustine, etc.) and the philosophers of antiquity (Zosimus, Jamblichus, Fulgentius, etc.), with commentary following each section. This volume offers substantial quotes from a wealth of sources (edition fully annotated with 795 footnotes). This book is well worth reading for all those who wish to study the Corpus Hermeticum in its entirety.
