Asclepius (treatise)
Hermetic treatise / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Asclepius, also known as the Perfect Discourse (from the Greek Logos teleios),[lower-alpha 1] is a religio-philosophical Hermetic treatise. The original Greek text, which was likely written in Alexandria between 100 CE and 300 CE,[1] is largely lost and only a few fragments remain. However, the full text is extant in an early Latin translation, and fragments from a Coptic translation have also been found among the documents discovered in Nag Hammadi.[2]
