Hermetick Art
Hermetick Art a Name given to
Chymistry,
upon a Supposition, that
Hermes
Trismegistus was the inventor thereof, or excelled therein. We know
but little of this
Hermes,
but that he was an ancient King of
Egypt
a thousand Years before Æsculapius. There are several Pieces still extant under
his Name; but all Suppositious.
