A community-maintained tertiary reference on Hermeticism, directly examined. Its strength is a named surviving prayer text within the Corpus Hermeticum and a precisely dated Renaissance translation that reopened the tradition to modern practice; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Hermetic studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.

Reliability Tier3
Bare Wikipedia community article, tier 3, matching this corpus's settled precedent for this source class. NotesWikipedia's article on Hermeticism, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for the seventeen Greek Hermetic treatises of the Corpus Hermeticum, dated by most scholars to the beginning of the second century CE or earlier; their attribution to Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic figure combining the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth; the Prayer of Thanksgiving named among the collection's texts; and Marsilio Ficino's fifteenth century Latin translation, which set off the Hermetic revival in the Renaissance and fed into modern orders such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
