The first German edition of Hermes5 Hermes .jpg

Hermes Trismegistus, De potestate et sapientia Dei. Mainz, Johann Schoeffer, 1503. 8vo.

Seventh edition of the Corpus Hermeticum, which does not follow the latest scholarly insights, but for which an edition from 1493 was used (which in turn goes back to the first edition from 1471). In terms of content, therefore, this edition offers nothing new, but it is the first edition in Germany, possibly made at the instigation of Jakob Merstetter, a humanist theologian.
