This is a blog concerning the Hermetical Arts, such as Alchemia, Theurgia, Astrologia, which are the three Sciences composing the "Trivium Hermeticum". This is a very old Science, said to be created by Hermes Trismegist.

From "Lettre d'un Philosophe à son ami", by Limojon de St Didier
Hi. Good to see that your blog becomes bigger every month. Is that a work of Limojon de St Didier? So far I was only able to find "Le Triomphe Hermetique" and "Lettre aux vrai Disciples de Hemres". Is that another treatise from the same author?
No I will not publish this treatrise since it is now, seemingly, under copyright (?) at the La Hutte editions in france that made the first ever edition of this book.
This is not the letter on the link you give, it is another treatrise. Less known, and discovered by a french historian of Alchemy, Bernard Husson. To my knowledge, there is no translation of this book in english or another language since it is now the first edition of the book. It was hand written in 1680.
