About this audiobook
The Corpus Hermeticum is a book by George Robert Stowe Mead, first published in 1906. It offers accessible English translations of key Hermetic treatises traditionally attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, including visionary dialogues such as Poemandres and discourses to Tat and Asclepius. These texts present a late-antique synthesis of Greek philosophy and Egyptian religious thought, exploring the Divine Mind (Nous), the nature of the cosmos, the rebirth of the soul, and practical wisdom aimed at inner transformation. Beyond their esoteric appeal, these writings have had a long cultural afterlife, shaping currents in Renaissance philosophy and later Western esotericism, from natural magic and alchemy to more modern occult and mystical revivals. Mead’s rendering is clear and readable while preserving the elevated tone of the originals, making this an essential gateway for readers interested in Hermeticism, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, philosophy of religion, and the history of ideas.
