About the author
Bart Marshall is credited as translator and editor of two ancient-text editions published by Realface Press in 2023: The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, a work long associated with Hermetic lore and the figure of Hermes Trismegistus, and a rendering of the Ashtavakra Gita, an Indian non-dual spiritual dialogue, described on this edition as a 'bootleg version.' Both books present Marshall as working with source material of contested or uncertain origin, framing the Emerald Tablets within its surrounding myth and mystery, and presenting the Ashtavakra Gita as a text aimed at self-realization rather than moral instruction or daily-life advice. Readers drawn to these editions are typically interested in Hermetic and Vedantic source texts rather than secondary commentary, and in Marshall's own approach to rendering older material into contemporary English.
