Collectanea Hermetica Volume I: Divine Pymander. This book was a
part of curriculum studied by members of the original Order of the
Golden Dawn. The Divine Pymander is not only one of the most
important texts of the ancient wisdom attributed to Hermes
Trismegistus, it is also the most important document within
Hermetic communities. The volumes of Westcott's Collectanea
Hermetica appeared over there three years from 1893 to 1896 when
the Golden Dawn was at its peak. In every volume the intellectual
integrity of the authors is evident, as is an eagerness to bring
academic respectability to subjects derided by their
contemporaries. This is the first corrected edition since it was
originally published in 1894. The edition was Edited Darcy Kuntz.

the Third Edition of Westcott's translation, first published in
1887.
