    Where's Giordano?
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019*

One of the few books in my life I gave up on... not for trying, since it was mentioned and praised by the incomparable Terence McKenna himself (which is why I bought it, and subsequently gave it my best shot).  And for an overall overview of the Hermetic Tradition, I've no doubt it meets all the scholarly attributes necessary.  However... I was looking for the great Giordano Bruno himself, and even the authoress states that "Well, this is really about the Hermetic Tradition, not necessarily Bruno per se, who was, by the way, really known historically as an expert at the science and art of memorization..."  Sorry, not what I was looking for.  Nor was I in agreement with her on the origins of Hermeticism  either, as she waffled about origins (ancient Egyptian, Judaic, Greek, and/or Alexandrian)... gimme a break!  In any case, I got more on Giordano out of Wikipedia than I did out of this book... more definitive information, that is, but again, that is not to say that it is not worthwhile for some other student...  just not me.  Thus, 3 stars.

    Great book, probably better if you know Latin
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2016*

I wasn't sure what to expect.  It was a book "you're supposed to read" if you're studying hermeticism and the western esoteric tradition.  For such dry material I found it an interesting read, I attribute that to Yates' writing style.  The one caveat I do have is that it puts direct quotes in Latin into the text to show how it was written, but doesn't have a translation.  It would've been helpful for the Latin to have a best effort translation so I don't need to reference Google Translate every other page.

    Untranslated Passages!?
  

*by V***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018*

Others have extolled well-enough the virtues of this book, so I'd like to note a grievance. As is the case with many wonderful books, the publishers, in their infinite wisdom (please note the sarcasm), saw fit to leave untranslated a great many passages which are quoted from works in other languages — a notable example being the Latin "Conclusions" of Pico della Mirandola. Why this must be the case I cannot, for the life of me, imagine. I can only suggest that it is an especially repugnant academic pretension, which many in the literary field superstitiously believe confers upon them some aura of scholarly prestige. I do not hesitate to call it, more or less metaphorically, a species of black magic, which has long held sway over the publishing world. The fact — which would otherwise be glaringly obvious — is that readers (along with the books they read) are left very much in the dark; a decidedly unfortunate result, considering that so many of these works are already rather obscure, or occult, as concerning their subject matter. In conclusion, I'd just like to add: What the actual ****?
