Hermetic books (Libros herméticos)

Index: Los teólogos

Fishburn and Hughes: "A collection of occult writings, known as the Corpus Hermeticum, dating from the first to the third centuries. Their origin was ascribed to the Egyptian god Thoth, who received from the Greeks the name Hermes Trismegistos ('thrice-great Hermes'). They include a text called Asclepius, thought to have been used by St Augustine in the writing of Civitas Dei." (89)
