Towards the end of the Hellenistic Period, under the Roman Empire, certain revealed wisdoms spread throughout the Greco-Roman world which were attributed either to Persian sages (Zoroaster, Ostanes, Hystaspes), an Egyptian god (Thoth-Hermes), oracles of Chaldean origin (Chaldean Oracles), or even to some Greek prophets or philosophers who had come closer to approaching the divine, since this occurred at the same time as a resurgence of Pythagorism and Orphism. Among those revealed wisdoms, the one bearing the name of Hermes Trismegistus is one of the most important, both in terms of the prolific writings which it inspired and the breadth of the field which this literature covered. Of the latter, the best known and most often studied relates to philosophy or theology. The Egyptian Hermes, however, was interested in many other matters: he dabbled with astrology, alchemy, magic and - contrary to the belief that this Hermeticism which some might call "popular" could represent only a secondary and late branch of the Hermetic revelation, it is actually the oldest form of it - that which gave it its form and served (at least to a large extent) as a model for scholarly Hermeticism. French description: Cette nouvelle edition, entierement recomposee, comprend les corrections manuscrites d'Andre-Jean Festugiere, reportees avec l'aide de Concetta Luna. Elle est enrichie d'un prodrome du Pere Henri Dominique Saffrey et de nombreux index elabores par Nicolas Roudet. Index des matieres (3000 notions) o index locorum (10 000 passages cites) o index des noms o index des mots grecs, latins et arabes o index des lieux geographiques o index des auteurs anciens et modernes o index des publications d'Andre-Jean Festugiere citees dans la RHT o index des manuscrits (textes bibliques, inscriptions et papyri) o bibliographie mise a jour. Vers la fin de la periode hellenistique et sous l'Empire, il se repandit dans le monde greco-romain un certain nombre de sagesses revelees que l'on attribuait soit a des mages perses (Zoroastre, Ostanes, Hystaspe), soit a un dieu d'Egypte (Thoth-Hermes), soit a des oracles venus de la Chaldee (Oracles Chaldaiques), soit meme a des prophetes ou philosophes de la Grece qui avaient approche de plus pres le divin, car c'est au meme temps que refleurissent le pythagorisme et l'orphisme.Parmi ces sagesses revelees, celle qui porte le nom d'Hermes Trismegiste est l'une des plus importantes, et par le grand nombre d'ecrits qu'elle a laisses, et par le champ que couvre cette litterature. On n'en connait et l'on en etudie le plus souvent que ce qui touche a la philosophie ou a la theologie. Cependant l'Hermes egyptien s'est interesse a bien d'autres domaines: il s'est occupe d'astrologie, d'alchimie, de magie, et loin que cet hermetisme qu'on pourrait dire populaire ne represente qu'une branche secondaire et tardive de la revelation hermetique, c'en est au contraire la production la plus ancienne, celle qui a donne sa forme et servi de modele, du moins pour une grande part, a l'hermetisme savant. Andre-Jean Festugiere (1898 - 1982) etait un dominicain et historien francais. Apres des etudes classiques, qui le pousseront a etudier les langues anciennes du Moyen-Orient, il entre dans l'ordre des Dominicains en 1924, apres avoir appart
