This is a large print edition (18 Arial) of the collection of documents of the Hermetic tradition. Parts of the Hermetica appeared in the 4th-century Gnostic library found in Nag Hammadi. Other works in Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, Coptic and other languages may also be termed Hermetica - another famous tract is the Emerald Tablet, which teaches the doctrine "as above, so below."
