Hermetica — Walter Scott | Four-Volume Hardcover Set 1968

Hermetica: The Ancient Greek and Latin Writings Which Contain Religious or Philosophic Teachings Ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus, edited with English translation and notes by Walter Scott. Second Edition, 1968

One of the first translations into English of the Hermetica. This translation was used by Neville Goddard in his books. (He quotes from it.)

This set is almost impossible to find. Walter Scott was a professor and spent much of his life translating these works.

This matching four-volume hardcover set is published by Dawsons of Pall Mall, London, with W. Scott and A. S. Ferguson credited on Volume IV.

A substantial reference set for readers and collectors of Hermetic writings, bringing together texts, translation, commentary, and supporting reference material.

• Volume I: Introduction, Texts and Translation
• Volume II: Notes on the Corpus Hermeticum
• Volume III: Commentary, Latin Asclepius, Stobaei Hermetica
• Volume IV: Testimonia, Addenda and Indices

Dark cloth hardcovers with gilt spine lettering and gilt figures on the front boards. Visible condition includes rubbing, marks, and wear to the covers, corners, and spine ends, with some age toning to the photographed pages.
