English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The 1532 volume is a collection of Latin translations of works originally written in Greek (Hermes Trismegistus's Corpus Hermeticum/Asclepius, Iamblichus's De Mysteriis, and Proclus's commentaries). While modern English translations of the original Greek texts exist (e.g., Copenhaver's Hermetica, various translations of Iamblichus's De Mysteriis), there is no evidence of an English translation of this specific 1532 Latin compilation or the specific Latin versions of these texts contained within it. The Latin texts were vehicles for Renaissance Neoplatonism, and their specific renderings differ from modern translations of the Greek originals.
