Large print edition, fully annotated (commentaries and 795 footnotes), easy-to-read layout. G. R. S. Mead was a noted and influential member of the Theosophical Society. He studied the Hermetic and Gnostic religions of Late Antiquity. Mead's huge book-Thrice-Greatest Hermes- is a classic work on the philosophical Hermetica and the figure of Hermes Trismegistus. This third volume (Excerpts and Fragments-400 pp. ) gives the excerpts and fragments that make up the rest of the Hermetica, namely from Stobaeus, but also from the Fathers (Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Augustine, etc. ) and the philosophers of antiquity (Zosimus, Jamblichus, Fulgentius, etc. ), with commentary following each section. This volume offers substantial quotes from a wealth of sources (edition fully annotated with 795 footnotes). This book is well worth reading for all those who wish to study the Corpus Hermeticum in its entirety.
