  Translated from the Arabic by the learned Divine Doctor John Everard 
  First printed in London by Robert White for Thos. Brewster & Greg. Moule, at the Three Bibles in the Poultry, 
  under Mildred’s Church, 1650, as The Divine Pymander of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus. This edition com-
  prises of Everard’s translation of Book 2 of 17 on Ποιμάνδρης next to the Greek, which has probably descended 
  from Psellus’ archetype, c 11th CE. 
  Thoth-Hermes Trismegistus is Self-created Logos, the Voice of Egypt’s Great Hierophants. 
  The High Priest of Memphis and author of the Book of the Dead is simply a personification 
  of the teachings of the sacerdotal caste of Egypt.
