Produktbeschreibung
The Egyptian and Greek tales of antiquity served to hide what the priests of the different religions knew about the Great Work. This is the thesis defended by Antoine Joseph Pernéty. Beyond the study of Greek and Egyptian mythology, and the systematic correction of Abbé Banier's assertions on the subject; in The Egyptian and Greek Tales Unveiled and Reduced to the Same Principle he follows the method of Hermetic philosophy in his search for truth and knowledge. A philosophy that establishes secret and symbolic relationships between all things, and which is the very basis of alchemy. Thus, under the guise of mythography, this work is in reality a true treatise on alchemy and Hermetic philosophy. For the author, mythology and Greek and Egyptian texts are the basis of Hermeticism.
Autorenporträt
Antoine-Joseph Pernety, also known as Dom Pernety (Roanne, February 23, 1716 - Avignon, October 16, 1796) was a French alchemist, librarian, writer and Benedictine monk of the Congregation of Saint-Maur, from which he was expelled. He became famous with the foundation in Prussia of the Illuminati of Berlin and on his return to France, of the Illuminati of Avignon. He discovered Hermeticism in 1757, in the library of Saint-Germain-les Prés; it was a revelation. This Benedictine of the Congregation of Saint Maur, chaplain on one of Bougainville's voyages to the Falkland Islands and librarian to Frederick II of Prussia, set out himself in search of the Philosopher's Stone; fascinated by Swedenborg's work, he founded the sect of the Illuminati of Berlin and later the Illuminati of Avignon.
