Message definition (Hermes Trismegistus)

Until the seventeenth century, Hermes was thought to have been a contemporary of [[Moses]]. His writings were considered by Christians to be almost as sacred as the Bible. Church Father Justin Martyr even went so far as to compare him to Jesus. The Greek Church Father Clement of Alexandria spoke of forty-two “Books of Thoth” dealing with priestly education, temple ritual, geography, [[astrology]], guidance for kings, hymns to the gods and medicine. Regrettably, these were lost in the burning of the library at Alexandria.
