The passage in Greek: "6.4.35.2 μετίασι γὰρ οἰκείαν τινὰ φιλοσοφίαν Αἰγύπτιοι· αὐτίκα τοῦτο ἐμφαίνει μάλιστα ἡ ἱεροπρεπὴς αὐτῶν θρῃσκεία. Πρῶτος μὲν γὰρ προέρχεται ὁ ᾠδός, ἕν τι τῶν τῆς μουσικῆς ἐπιφερόμενος συμβόλων. τοῦτόν φασι δύο βίβλους ἀνειληφέναι δεῖν ἐκ τῶν Ἑρμοῦ, ὧν θάτερον μὲν ὕμνους περιέχει θεῶν, ἐκλογισμὸν δὲ βασιλικοῦ βίου τὸ δεύτερον. Μετὰ δὲ τὸν ᾠδὸν ὁ ὡροσκόπος, ὡρολόγιόν τε μετὰ χεῖρα καὶ φοίνικα ἀστρολογίας ἔχων σύμβολα, πρόεισιν. τοῦτον τὰ ἀστρολο γούμενα τῶν Ἑρμοῦ βιβλίων τέσσαρα ὄντα τὸν ἀριθμὸν ἀεὶ διὰ στόματος ἔχειν χρή, ὧν τὸ μέν ἐστι περὶ τοῦ διακόσμου τῶν ἀπλανῶν φαινομένων ἄστρων, τὸ δὲ περὶ τῶν συνόδων καὶ φωτισμῶν ἡλίου καὶ σελήνης, τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν περὶ τῶν ἀνατολῶν. Ἑξῆς δὲ ὁ ἱερογραμματεὺς προέρχεται, ἔχων πτερὰ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς βιβλίον τε ἐν χερσὶ καὶ κανοῦν, ἐν ᾧ τό τε γραφικὸν μέλαν καὶ σχοῖνος ᾗ γράφουσι. τοῦτον τὰ τε ἱερογλυφικὰ καλούμενα περί τε τῆς κοσμογραφίας καὶ γεωγραφίας τῆς τάξεως τοῦ ἡλίου καὶ τῆς σελήνης καὶ περὶ τῶν πέντε πλανωμένων, χωρογραφίας τε τῆς Αἰγύπτου καὶ τῆς τοῦ Νείλου διαγραφῆς περί τε τῆς καταγραφῆς σκευῆς τῶν ἱερῶν καὶ τῶν ἀφιερωμένων αὐτοῖς χωρίων περί τε μέτρων καὶ τῶν ἐν τοῖς ἱεροῖς χρησίμων εἰδέναι χρή. Ἔπειτα ὁ στολιστὴς τοῖς προειρημένοις ἕπεται, ἔχων τόν τε τῆς δικαιοσύνης πῆχυν καὶ τὸ σπονδεῖον. οὗτος τὰ παιδευτικὰ πάντα καὶ μοσχοσφραγιστικὰ καλούμενα· δέκα δέ ἐστι τὰ εἰς τὴν τιμὴν ἀνήκοντα τῶν παρ' αὐτοῖς θεῶν καὶ τὴν Αἰγυπτίαν εὐσέβειαν περιέχοντα, οἷον περὶ θυμάτων, ἀπαρχῶν, ὕμνων, εὐχῶν, πομπῶν ἑορτῶν καὶ τῶν τούτοις ὁμοίων. Ἐπὶ πᾶσι δὲ ὁ ἔξεισι, προφανὲς τὸ ὑδρεῖον ἐγκεκολπισμένος, ᾧ ἕπονται οἱ τὴν ἔκπεμψιν τῶν ἄρτων βαστάζοντες. οὗτος, ὡς ἂν προστάτης τοῦ ἱεροῦ, τὰ ἱερατικὰ καλούμενα δέκα βιβλία ἐκμανθάνει (περιέχει δὲ περί τε νόμων καὶ θεῶν καὶ τῆς ὅλης παιδείας τῶν ἱερέων)· ὁ γάρ τοι προφήτης παρὰ τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις καὶ τῆς διανομῆς τῶν προσόδων ἐπιστάτης ἐστίν. ∆ύο μὲν οὖν καὶ τεσσαράκοντα αἱ πάνυ ἀναγκαῖαι τῷ Ἑρμῇ γεγόνασι βίβλοι· ὧν τὰς μὲν τριάκοντα ἓξ τὴν πᾶσαν Αἰγυπτίων περιεχούσας φιλοσοφίαν οἱ προειρημένοι ἐκμανθάνουσι, τὰς δὲ λοιπὰς ἓξ οἱ παστοφόροι ἰατρικὰς οὔσας περί τε τῆς τοῦ σώματος κατασκευῆς καὶ περὶ νόσων καὶ περὶ ὀργάνων καὶ φαρμάκων καὶ περὶ ὀφθαλμῶν καὶ τὸ τελευταῖον περὶ τῶν γυναικείων. Καὶ τὰ μὲν Αἰγυπτίων ὡς ἐν βραχεῖ φάναι τοιαῦτα· Ἰνδῶν δὲ ἡ φιλοσοφία καὶ αὐτῶν διαβεβόηται."

Is there a comprehensive volume of Clement’s stromata in print? I checked Loeb and it doesn’t appear to be available. Any recommendations? English/Latin preferably.
I'd just use Migne's Patrologia Graeca vol. 9 for the Stromata (Clement wrote in Greek, not in Latin)
@@TheModernHermeticist any known options for those whose Greek will never be that good?
@@iamblichus5318 Here's a free translation of the English: www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/clement-stromata-book1.html
All published by Brill
LOL
Lol, let’s B rill’, “Shakin haters off since 1683” pretty impressive longevity there even if they are the “baddies”
Is that really how old Brill is? That's amazing, I had no idea.
@@TheModernHermeticist oh yeah old book cartel
@@TheModernHermeticist 🤷🏻♂️ who really knows lol, but I do know, for a fact, that’s def their motto 😉
Very nice selection of visuals for this.
Keep up the great work Dan 👏
Great channel. Keep it up
New the CH …. Beautiful, right up my alley. 🙏
Great channel, always remember the picatrix videos, searching for videos about a book called "Mysteries of the cathedrals" brought me here, i was fascinated with Fullcaneli affair
Have you read Leon Marvells "The physics of transfigured light: the imaginal realm and the hermetic foundations of science?"
Nice work brother 👁
Thanks ✌
@@TheModernHermeticist any chance of a list of those book I’m just getting around to them now but think I have sorted em already some crazy shit going on here 👀👁👍🏽😂
Heck ya dan
Gotta keep my title strong
So is this the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything included?
but the kybalion said I only need to read 1 text :'(
Then there's Iamblichus: "As Seleukos describes, Hermes set forth the universal principles in 2,000 scrolls, or as Manetho affirms, he explained them completely in 36,525 treatises."
What do scholars think the dates are for this text?
For Clement of Alexandria?
Τhere is nowhere prototype to be found i guess, as always. The whole concept of ancient civilizations is a con-struct of the World Craft...

Oooooo
The 42nd book is of women's health, obviously purposeful and significant given that pregnancy generally lasts 42 weeks.
Childbirth on average occurs at a gestational age of 280 days (40 weeks). Childbirth which occurs on the first day of the 42nd week or thereafter is considered a post-term delivery.
The Egyptians took from the Sumarians it's like every great civilization made the claim that their knowledge was absolute and that it came from the gods but really it came from the people before them.
@@schizvoid8774 It's a well known fact in academia. ;) One of the most famous ones is Heru-ur (Herwer) or as they called him in Egypt, Horus.
