For more information on the Hermetic writings and Hermes Trismegistus (I have a much longer list of sources which, though I didn't end up using them in my project, could be informative) and an extensive set of bookmarked web sites), or to comment on this site, e-mail me at jbennett@roanoke.edu. For a brief introduction to the Hermetic writings and sample texts online, see http://www.essene.com/Mysticism/Hermetic.html and http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/herm/.
