Hermeticum corpus
The Corpus Hermeticum is the keystone work of the Hermétisme. It is about a collection of about fifteen texts. Among the oldest copies one finds certain chapters in the library of Nag Hammadi redécouverte towards 1950.ap.JC (a “hiding place” in Egypt hidden towards 400.ap.JC - probably in reaction to the dogmatization of Christianity initialized with the council of Nicée) where it is associated with other gnostic texts - gnostic Gospels for example. But there remains in Greece until it becomes the major text of the community of Harran towards 600.ap.JC (border Syria/Turkey). Then about the year 1000 it influences Islam and fact return in Europe to the Rebirth (Marsile Ficin) 1550.ap.JC.
In 1600.ap.JC the Enquiry proscribes it and he will be considered by the scientists with contempt, condescension or irony since. The argument of the Enquiry was a dating (Casaubon) which judged that it was about a text late and invented to accredit the origin of Christianity deferred action. The discovery of Nag Hammadi invalidates this dating and it is much more credible today than the Hermeticum Corpus took part of the time and the contemporary medium of the advent of Christianity.
The “Poimandres” allotted to Trismégiste, by the similarity of the spiritual designs that it has with the Gospel of Jean - in particular in the concept of a creative “verb” - can reasonably let suppose that the two authors attended similar spiritual circles in different places in Alexandria for Trismégiste with Ephèse for Jean, which were probably of judéo-Greek influences around the II century after JC (fine of the first century, beginning of II). The major difference is due however to the presence of the Christian dogma in the evangelist, the incarnation of the verb when Trismégiste does not discuss it.
