Gehört zur ReiheHermetica (3)
First published in 1924, this classic four-volume work contains various Greek and Latin writings of religious or philosophic teachings ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus, with Walter Scott's extensive notes, commentary, and addenda. It is said that these teachings are records of private, intimate talks between a teacher and one or two of his disciples. The setting was in Egypt under the Roman Empire, among men who had received some instruction in Greek philosophy, and especially the Platonism of the period, but were not content with merely accepting and repeating the dogmas of the orthodox philosophic religion that would better satisfy their needs. Included here is the translator's commentary on the Latin "Asclepius" and the Hermetic excerpts of Stobaeus. Volumes I, II, and IV of "Hermetica," which contain Scott's translation, his notes on the "Corpus Hermeticum, " and "testimonia," addenda, indices, are also published by Shambhala.

THE LATIN ASCLEPIUS
Title. The inipit and expliait of the MSS. of the Latin Asclepius
show that the title which the translator found at the head of his
Greek text was 'Ερμού τρισμεγιστου βίβλος ερα προς 'Ασκληπιον
προσφωνηθασα. But the Greek document was known to Lactantius
and Lydus by the title 'Ερμού τρισμέγιστου λόγος τέλειος.* Lactantius
quotes under this title both from Asel. I and from Ascl. III; and one
of his quotations is taken from the Epilogue (i. e. the narrative
passage appended at the end of Ascl. III), which is connected with
and presupposes the Prologue prefixed to Ascl. I. It appears
therefore that the λόγος τέλειος as known to Lactantius included all
that is contained in our Latin Asaepius, and the title λόγ0s
τέλειος may have been given to the document by the redactor who
joined together Ascl. I, Ascd. II, and Asd. III.
Stobaeus, 4. 52. 47, quotes the Greek of Ascl. III. 27 e (vol. i,
p. 364) under the heading 'Ερμού έκ των προς ,Ασκληπιόν. It is
possible therefore that the Greek original of Ascl. III, as a separate
document, was included in the Hermes to Asclepius collection, and
that Stobaeus knew it in that form, and not as a part of the larger
whole (c.-ulan.
4. 130 E) quotes from Hermes Trismegistus έν Γτώι προς 'Ασκληπιον
a passage which appears to be a lengthened form of Asdl. III. 29 b
init. ; it is possible that the original of Ascl. III was known to him
to which the title λόγος τέλειος was applied.
Cyni also as a separate document.
The full title of the composite document was probably ΈΡμου
τρυσμεγιστου βίβλος υερα, πρός, Ασκλητών προσφωνηθείσα, ή Επικαλουμενη
