It is just Tat, who Hermes reveals gnostic secrets and teaches special mental practices.</p><br /> <p class='tcKeywordsR'>Tat, Thoth, Hermes Trismegistus, Corpus Hermeticum, Hermetica, Hermetism, Gnosis</p><br /> <p class='hcAbstract'>Thoth (/¸oŠ¸, toŠt/; from Greek ˜Î¸ thSth; derived from Egyptian %w.ty) is an ancient Egyptian deity of wisdom, knowledge, magic, writing, measure, count and moon, founder of the year in 365 days. The cult of Thoth was common in the territory of Egypt, but the center had in Hermopolis (also known as Shmun or El Ashmunein). In the age of late antiquity, Thoth began to be identified with Hermes Trismegistus, as evidenced by some of his magical papyri. In the tracts of the Corpus Hermeticum, Thoth is more likely associated with Tat, a pupil of Hermes, who bears the name invariant of the Egyptian deity of wisdom. The unification of the ideas about Hermes and Thoth, according to Tadeusz Stefan ZieliDski, began even earlier, during the first trade contacts between Egypt and Greece, more precisely between the Arcadian and people of the Nile Delta and the surrounding regions. The relationship between Hermes and Tat, as between father and son or teacher and pupil, is not seen as accidental, that is similar to the transformation of the epithet of Thoth «Twice Great» into the epithet of Hermes «Thrice Great». All this goes to an effort of legal succession of Hermeticism of the late antiquity from the mystery cults of Ancient Egypt, as well as the indication of the superiority of the Hermetic doctrine over the teachings of the priests of Egypt. Thus, Tat becomes an integral figure of the Corpus Hermeticum and other treatises that were discovered in the Stobaeus s Anthology and the Nag Hammadi library. Similarly Tat is mentioned in the texts of practical Hermeticism («vulgar Hermetica» or «technical Hermetica»), thanks to which he became known even in the times of Arab Hermeticism later. Most of the dialogues, where Tat is present, are impregnated with the formulations of a pessimistic gnosis and refer often to practical ways that can be applied in the way of salvation from materiality after death and transformation through the upbringing of the divine principle, which is in the mind, according to the authors of the manuscripts. Tat is devoted to such important tracts as "The Key", which tells about the forms of metempsychosis, «The General Sermon» of the Corpus Hermeticum, which was lost, Tat receives secret words in the sermon on the mountain in the XIII tract of the Corpus and is possibly an unnamed son from the "Discourse on the Eighth and Ninth" (from the texts of the Codex VI of the Nag Hammadi Library). He acts as a listener in the treatise «Asclepius» or «Perfect Discourse» and the main participant of the equally voluminous treatise "To Tat", where the fundamental 48 theses of Hermetic philosophy are given. In later manuscripts Tat himself becomes a teacher, in «Kore Kosmu» Isis treats him with respect as an outstanding pupil of Hermes. Passing through the image of Tat in Hermetic texts, we will see the core of the secret understanding of the nature of God, Universe and Man through the eyes of Hermetic philosophers.</p> </div> </td> <td style="background:url(tabs/tii_69.png) repeat-y"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="tabs/tii_72.png" alt="" /></td> <td style="background:url(tabs/tii_74.png) repeat-x"></td> <td><img src="tabs/tii_79.png" alt="" /></td> </tr> </table> <p class="MsoNormal" align="right" style='text-align:right'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;'>© ;0B>=>2A:>5 >1I5AB2>, 2018 3. </span></p> <p align="right" style='margin-top:0mm;margin-right:3pt;margin-bottom: 0mm;margin-left:-36.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:right'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;'><a href="../index3.htm">  !!# $ &</a></span></b></p> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --> </td> </tr> </tbody> </body> <!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
