Hermeticism.- Trismegistus (Hermes) Pimandras utraque lingua restitutus..., translated by Francois Foix de Candale, parallel text in Latin and Greek, title with woodcut device, endpapers laid down, marginal toning and water-staining, the odd spot and a few nicks to title and front endpaper, near contemporary vellum over wooden boards, upper joint splitting, lightly soiled and stained, 8vo, Bordeaux, Simon Millanges, 1574. ***Foix-Candale (1512–94) was an important figure in the history of Neo-Alexandrian Hermeticism. His esoteric philosophy reaches a point of particular intensity in this instance, approaching what has been described as a kind of ecstasy. This is evident, for example, in the dedicatory letter to Maximilian II, in which Candale compares Hermes Trismegistus’s knowledge of the divine to that of the Apostles and Evangelists.
