This article deals with the reception of the Corpus Hermeticum, in the Renaissance, taking into account the aspects of the admission of literary evidences of the ancient Graeco-Roman culture in this period. So, one analyzes the relations among transmission, interpretation, translation, influence and success of the hermetic texts of the ancient world. This article aims to observe the Hermetic Literature that in the Renaissance culture in order to demonstrate how ancient sources were subjected to new interpretations through the hermeneutic key of the prisca philosophia, prisca sapientia e prisca theologia. Moreover, one seeks to to show up, through an analysis of the classical studies and the Comparative Literature concepts, the way the Ancient Hermeticism shaped the visions and the modern values.
