I don't know about Reitzenstein's edition, but the Poimandres is a Hermetic
tract, generally used to illustrate the background of the development of
gnostic systems. I don't have the exact title anywhere handy, but you the
Editio Maior of that Hermetic stuff was published, I think, by Oxford in
the 40's or 50's as _Hermetica_. There's a translation of the Poimandres in
the commonly-used NT sourcebook by Barrett, _The NT Background_.
