English The authors trace the history of Hermeticism and alchemy from their origins in ancient Alexandria through the European Renaissance and into the modern occult revival. They examine the relationship between magic, religion, philosophy and emerging scientific thought, while discussing figures such as John Dee, Roger Bacon and the legendary Dr Faustus. The book presents Hermeticism as an enduring alternative intellectual tradition that has influenced Western ideas about nature, spirituality and the unity of all things.
