The Emerald Tablet, also known as Smaragdine Table, Tabula Smaragdina, or The Secret of Hermes, is a text
purporting to reveal the secret of the primordial substance and its transmutations. It claims to be the work
of Hermes Trismegistus ("Hermes the Thrice-Greatest"), a legendary Hellenistic combination of
the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth.
