- Curatorial Notes:
- Hermes Trismegistus was an important authority in 15th-century Europe, as the eponymous author of the Hermetic Corpus of Greek wisdom texts. Although the Corpus was actually composed around the second and third centuries, Hermes was long thought to be a contemporary of Moses — a dating error that conferred enormous prestige on his supposed writings. Many of these, including the influential Pimander, seen here in an early edition, take the form of dialogues between a master and a disciple.
