Has anyone ever heard of a book, "The Divine Pymander of Hermes Trismigistus" (sp?), and know where I can find it?

Fri, September 8, 2006 - 2:24 PMHi, John.
The first treatise in the Greek Corpus Hermeticum is a dialogue featuring a Divine being called the Poimandres. In some early Latin translations, this Greek term was "Latinized" as Pymander, and has been used in some of the subsequent English translations as a name for either that first dialogue or even for the whole collection of Hermetica. John Everard's English translation (from 1650) used "The Divine Pymander" as the name of the book. Just Google "Divine Pymander" and you'll find dozens of places on the Web where the public domain text is posted.
