Hermetisches Museum
Anonymous
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
No English translation of the 1783 German edition of the 'Hermetisches Museum' (published in Reval and Leipzig) was found in the catalog searches. While a well-known English translation by Arthur Edward Waite (1893) exists for the Latin 'Musaeum Hermeticum', that version was translated directly from the 1678 Latin original; the specific German text and arrangement from the 1783 edition have not been previously translated into English.
