The four volumes of “The Egyptian Arch Gnosis” are based on the universal wisdom of the Emerald Tablet and the first two books of the Corpus Hermeticum by Hermes Trismegistos.

The origin of these writings were assumed to be in the Egyptic cultural era before Moses and Plato. In fact, they were written by a group of gnostics during the first Christian centuries.

The dialogues between Hermes and Pymander, Hermes and Asklepios and Hermes and Tat are true treasures of gnostic literature. The esoteric analysis and commentaries by Jan van Rijckenborgh supply the key for a deep undestanding.
