Hermetica The Ancient Greek and Latin Writings which Contain Religious Or Philosophic Teachings Ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus
e Hermetica is an extraordinary collection of writings ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary Egyptian prophet said to have designed the Great Pyramid. The arrival of The Hermetica in Italy about 1460 A.D. had a profound effect upon such influential thinkers as Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola, making it an important component of the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance. The Hermetica was also a source of inspiration to Jung.9
