Hermes Trismegistus has been referred to as the father of [[alchemy]]. According to one legend, a slab of emerald found in his tomb had inscribed upon it Hermes’ precepts for making gold. This emerald tablet contained the familiar Hermetic axiom: “What is below is like that which is above. And what is above is like that which is below.<ref>Ibid., p. x.</ref>
На Гермеса Трисмегиста ссылались как на отца [[alchemy|алхимии]]. Согласно одной легенде, в его гробнице нашли изумрудную пластину с вырезанными на ней указаниями Гермеса по изготовлению золота. Эта изумрудная скрижаль содержала известную алхимическую аксиому Гермеса: «То, что внизу, подобно тому, что вверху. А то, что вверху, подобно тому, что внизу».<ref>Там же, с. х.</ref>


One ancient author who claimed to have seen the stone said that it was an emerald on which the characters were represented in bas-relief, not engraved. The material had once been in a fluid state like melted glass and had been cast in a mold, and it had been given the hardness of a genuine emerald by alchemical means.
