Gnosticism and Hermeticism

For scholars who use the term in the broadest sense, Hermetic works are sometimes included in the larger category of Gnosticism, and classical Hermeticism does indeed display a good deal in common with its contemporary ancient Gnostic traditions. Both movements flourished in the same geographic regions over roughly the same time period, likely drawing members from the same social classes, and in turn being influenced by many of the same older sources.
