It is convenient in this short document, to remark the life of some personalities and movements that made the major development and understanding of the Hermetic. What follows is a brief summary.
Benedict of Nursia
It is important to remark the figure of Benedict of Nursia, who defined, through his activity and contribution, one of the key patterns to understand the subsistence of the Hermetic knowledge in the middle age.
He was born in year 480 (before this Era) and after years of meditation he composed a rule full of moderation, intelligence and amplitude, presupposing a will and directresses preceding him. Benedict of Nursia undertakes a work that will be the base of all Christian civilization: he undertakes the systematic gathering of the classic manuscripts and ancient sculptures, which the young church tended to destroy as heretic.
Thus he creates the wise Benedictine tradition that will never end. In his monasteries met the intellectuals of the epoch, being these places the depositaries of all the knowledge of Occident.
Is due to the monks of his rule that we know Plato and Aristotle, Pythagoras and the Hellenistic. They were also who gather the principles of the construction with stone, allowing the born of the Romanic. Therefore the construction is interrelated again to the image of the cosmos and the language of the numbers through the wisdom of Euclid and Pythagoras.
The Benedictine order covered thousands of artisans, artists and masters, until their safety and their franchises could be secured by other order: the one of the Templars.
The Benedictine order conceives and constructs the Romanic temple exclusively for monks, and that is not enough to create a civilization. Its necessary a monument that acts directly over the people. In this aspect, the monastic Romanic can not go further away. To cause its action it is required to know certain hidden laws, the knowledge of the usage of stone that was possessed by the builders of some dolmens, by the builders of certain Egyptian monuments, the builders of some Greek monuments, the builders of the Temple of Salomon.
This Hermetic knowledge is the law that is preserved in the Ark, and the Ark is in Jerusalem. The workers are prepared, Peter of Molesmes, Benedictine, founds the Cister. The pope Urban II, Benedictine, launches the Crusade.
