The Golden Tractate Of Hermes Trismegistus

The Golden Tractate Of Hermes Trismegistus

by Hermes Trismegistus


The Golden Tractate of Hermes, first created in the Renaissance and rendered into English in 1850, is one of a number of texts from its era attempting to explain alchemy, along with the works of Pontanus and Artephius. Through a veil of symbolism it attempts to inform the reader of the process of creating Ixir, and thus the universal medicine of alchemy.
