Is there a Latin version of the Crater Hermetis by Ludovico Lazzarelli available online?

Yes, it is available on Archive.org. It is part of a volume printed in 1505 with this long title:
Contenta in hoc volumine. Pimander. Mercurij Trismegisti liber De sapiential et potestate dei. Asclepius. Eiusdem Mercurij liber De voluntate diuina. Item Crater Hermetis a Lazarelo Septempedano.
That translates to:
The contents of this volume. Pimander. Mercury Thrice-Majestic's Book of the Wisdom and Power of God. Asclepius. The same Mercury's book On the Free Will of God. Also Crater Hermetis by Lazarelo Septempedano.
(Translation mine, so iffy.)
I guess Hermes Trismegistus is "Mercury Thrice-Majestic" and the book is an anthology of works about or attributed to him?

1To whomever pointed me to Archive.org, thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. And I can't believe I didn't think to look there. I've found several books like this on that website. And it has so much other stuff. I graduated (BA) from Univ of Toronto, so get a kick out of seeing the contents of the UofT (Robarts) library.Kevin Marek– Kevin Marek2021-05-30 15:53:45 +00:00Commented May 30, 2021 at 15:53
