abstract:
The purpose of this essay is to show how a text central to the late 400s rediscovery of ancient Hermeticism, the "Corpus Hermeticum", which Marsilio Ficino entitled "Pimander", enjoyed singular fortune through translations and commentaries in national languages, from Thomas Benci (1463) to John Everard (1610, 1650). The essay shows how the theosophical and Christian aspects of Hermeticism are juxtaposed with a naturalistic-alchemical approach, which will have so much fortune in modern philosophy.
