The Pimander. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Hermes Trismegistus - Harmakis Edizioni, 2020 -
The Pymander (in Greek Ποιμ?νδρης, Poimandres) is a work written in Greek in the 2nd-3rd century AD. and traditionally attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. It was included in the Corpus Hermeticum, collected by Michele Psello around the middle of the 11th century, and was translated into Latin between 1460 and 1463 by Marsilio Ficino, who however extended the title of Pimander to all the fourteen books that then made up the Corpus. The work, which deals with creation, is a sort of initiatory path through which the faithful are led to the understanding of the nous and to rebirth in God, through the teaching of his messenger Hermes Trismegistus. According to one of the cardinal principles of the Hermetic doctrine, in fact, man must make a journey to free the divine part (the intellect) inherent in him from earthly bonds and reach salvation, represented by the logos, the truth of Poimandres.

The term particularly applies to the Corpus Hermeticum, Marsilio Ficino's Latin translation in fourteen tracts, of which eight early printed editions appeared before 1500 and a further twenty-two by 1641. This collection, which includes Poimandres and some addresses of Hermes to disciples Tat, Ammon and Asclepius, was said to have originated in the school of Ammonius Saccas and to have passed through the keeping of Michael Psellus: it is preserved in fourteenth century manuscripts. The last three tracts in modern editions were translated independently from another manuscript by Ficino's contemporary Lodovico Lazzarelli (1447–1500) and first printed in 1507. Extensive quotes of similar material are found in classical authors such as Joannes Stobaeus.
