What's the best version of the Hermetica I should read, I find it confusing to find a complete translation. The book may also be in French, Dutch or German.

In English, I would suggest Copenhaver.

University Presses are evil. Get it used? I suppose you could go for Salaman too but it lacks commentary and notes. I believe it is all the same material. There's some stuff neither touch. GRS Mead has some fun notes in Thrice Greatest Hermes but they are non-scholarly. The Eternal Hermes is a good secondary source.

Sacred texts is full of archaic translations and scholarship and reading on screen is bad for your peepee.
