An endeavour to systematize and
elucidate The Corpus Hermeticum by the Editors of The Shrine of Wisdom. `The
Pymander is a book most choice for the elegance of its language, most weighty
for the abundance of its
information, full of grace and propriety, full of wisdom and mysteries. For it
contains the profoundest mysteries of the most ancient theology, and the arcana
of all philosophy, which things it may not be so much said to contain as to
explain..` Cornelius Agrippa. 54pp.

| HYMN
OF JESUS(1907)
|
"..bishops and teachers knew not how better to stem this flood of
Gnostic writings and their influence among the faithful, than by boldly adopting
the most popular narratives from the heretical books, and, after faithfully
eliminating the poison of false doctrine, replacing them in this purified form
in the hands of the public. Fortunately
some of this "poison of false doctrine" has been preserved.
Among other things of great beauty for which we are grateful, we
especially thank a kindly providence for the preservation of the Hymn of
Jesus". Volume IV of the series 'Echoes from the Gnosis'.

Hellas." Volume II of the
