The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of philosophical and theological texts attributed to the legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus, compiled and translated by Marsilio Ficino in 1471. The series explores themes of divine wisdom, the nature of the soul, and the relationship between the human and the divine, often through dialogues and meditative reflections. Central to the work is the concept of the divine as both transcendent and immanent, with recurring emphasis on spiritual ascent and the pursuit of higher knowledge.
