Poimandres ((ギリシア語:Ποιμάνδρης); also known as ''Poemandres'', ''Poemander'' or ''Pimander'') is a chapter in the ''Corpus Hermeticum''. Originally written in Greek, the title was formerly understood to mean "Man-Shepherd" from the words ποιμήν and ἀνήρ, but recent studies on its etymology have shown that it is actually derived from the Egyptian phrase ''Peime-nte-rê'' meaning "Knowledge of Re" or "Understanding of Re".〔(From Poimandres to Jacob Böhme: gnosis, hermetism and the Christian tradition, pgs 47, 48 )〕〔(Hermetica: The Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius in a New English Translation, p 95 )〕 It is also a sort of deity or attribute of God as ''nous''. To quote (John Everard translation): :''Then said I, "Who art Thou?"'' :''"I am," quoth he, "Poemander, the mind of the Great Lord, the most Mighty and absolute Emperor: I know what thou wouldest have, and I am always present with thee."'' And in the G. R. S. Mead translation: :''And I do say: Who art thou?'' :''He saith: I am Man-Shepherd ''()'', Mind of all-masterhood; I know what thou desirest and I’m with thee everywhere.'' And in the translation by Salaman, Van Oyen and Wharton:〔Salaman, Van Oyen, Wharton and Mahé,''The Way of Hermes'', p. 17〕 :''"Who are you?" said I.'' :''He said, "I am Poimandres the Nous of the Supreme. I know what you wish and I am with you everywhere." ==See also== *Hermeticism *Hermes Trismegistus *The All 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poimandres」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
