The Hermética, or Corpus Hermeticum, are the books of codification containing the many tracts and dialogues that are believed to be the beliefs, religion, and philosophy of ancient Egypt.
A prime product of the Hellenistic culture of Alexandra, Egypt, the Hermética was itself the foundation of a Graeco-Egyptian religion. It has had a profound influence on Western European philosophy, theology, and occultism. As a "secret document", the Hermética influenced many great European thinkers across the centuries and is credited as being one of the prime catalysts of the Renaissance.
