Since the Renaissance, this corpus has appeared in an order that doesn’t fit the path of spiritual initiation suggested by the corpus itself. This edition reorders the corpus—including the Latin Asclepius and the Nag Hammadi Hermetica—into four progressing parts: introductory tractates, general discourses, detailed discourses, and revelatory discourses. A focused commentary follows each tractate. The book is written for all lovers of the \u003c\/span\u003eHermetica\u003cspan\u003e, but in particular for those who are willing, in some sense, to join the way of immortality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHermetica I\u003c\/em\u003e is presented as a finely crafted hardback volume (6\" × 9\" or 229 × 153 mm), quarter-bound in Ratchford Windsor (Warwick) book cloth \u0026amp; Elefantenhaut High White paper, section-sewn and finished with a rounded hollow spine for durability and elegance.
