By HERMES MERCURIUS TRISMEGISTUS. A Treatise on Initiations, or
Asclepios; the Definitions of Asclepios; Fragments of the Writings of
Hermes. Translated and edited by the authors of “The Perfect Way.” With
an Introduction to “The Virgin of the World” by A. K., and an Essay on
“The Hermetic Books” by E. M.
“It will be a most interesting study for every occultist to compare
the doctrines of the ancient Hermetic philosophy with the teaching of
the Vedantic and Buddhist systems of religious thought. The famous
books of Hermes seem to occupy, with reference to the Egyptian
religion, the same position which the Upanishads occupy in Aryan
religious literature.”--_Theosophist_, November, 1885.
