Hermetism:

Hermetism as a scholary construct most commonly denotes the ideas and teachings found in the texts of the corpus hermeticum probaly written down in the 2nd and 3rd centuries in Greek. Antoine Faivre suggests a termonology which traces the impact of these ideas in the following manner: 1. Alexandrian hermetism, 2. Medieval neo-Alexandrian hermetism, 3. Modern neo-Alexandrian hermetism.*
