The Hermetic Perfect Discourse (Logos Teleios), though originally penned in Greek, is best known today through its Latin translation, the Asclepius. The Greek version was relatively popular, as it was quoted by notable figures such as Lactantius and Stobaeus. The Latin translation gained recognition among Augustine and later Latin authors, and from around the ninth…

“Who else could give living creatures a soul, but the one God? Therefore God is one. It is quite ridiculous that you acknowledge the cosmos to be everlasting, the sun to be one, the moon to be one, and the divine nature to be one, yet you think God to be one of a series?…

“He, being all things, is the One and being one, is all things. The totality of everything is one and is in One.
