The Corpus Hermeticum
註釋This collection, which includes the Poemandres and some addresses of Hermes to disciples Tat, Ammon and Asclepius, was said to have originated in the school of Ammonius Saccas and to have passed through the keeping of Michael Psellus: it is preserved in fourteenth century manuscripts.The last three tracts in modern editions were translated independently from another manuscript by Ficino's contemporary Lodovico Lazzarelli (1447-1500) and first printed in 1507. Extensive quotes of similar material are found in classical authors such as Joannes Stobaeus.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".
