Excerpt from Echoes From the Gnosis, Vol. 1: The Chaldæan Oracles How Hellenism philosophized the ancient wisdom Of Egypt, we have already shown at great length in our volumes on T brice-greatest Hermes. The Chaldaean Oracles are a parallel endeavour, on a smaller scale, to philosophize the wisdom Of Chaldaea. In the Trismegistic writings, moreover, we had to deal with a series Of prose treatises, whereas in our Oracles we are to treat Of the fragments Of a single mystery-poem, which may with advantage be compared with the cycle of Jewish and Christian pseudepigraphic poems known as the Sibylline Oracles.
