Repetition of words

[ZamnaMx]

This triple repetition was part of a way of writing that mixed science, philosophy, and ritual. It was common among Hermetic and alchemical authors.[/i]

Please post a source, an example of a "common" triple repetition in a Hermetic or alchemical text to support this extraordinary claim.

It’s not really an “extraordinary claim,” it’s actually something basic — anyone who’s even slightly familiar with Hermetic tradition knows what the number three means, and what “three times three” represents. The entire structure of Western religion and philosophy is built upon these same Hermetic principles.
Hermes Trismegistus literally means “thrice-great,” which already tells you how ancient writers understood the power of repetition. The triple form is not decoration — it marks completeness, totality, and the passage through the three planes: body, soul, and spirit; or, in alchemical language, matter, energy, and light.
This isn’t something I made up — it’s everywhere in the literature. You can see it in:

• The Tabula Smaragdina: “Tota est una, una est tota, una est.” — the triple “one” to express unity across all levels.
  
• The Corpus Hermeticum, Lib. I (Poimandres): “That which is born of Light is Light, and from Light comes Light.” — the classic triadic pattern of emanation.
  
• The Rosarium Philosophorum (1550): the triple conjunction of Sol, Luna, and Spiritus Mercurii — repeated as coniunctio, coniunctio, coniunctio — showing the three moments of the same work.
  
• Paracelsus, De Tribus Substantiis (1567): constantly repeating Sal, Sulphur, Mercurius — the threefold nature of all existence.
  
• And even in Christian liturgy: “Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth” — the triple invocation of holiness, which is Hermetic in origin before it became liturgical.
  

So when a word or a symbol appears three times in a row in a medieval Hermetic or alchemical text, it’s not random — it’s a linguistic ritual, a way of encoding a complete process of transformation.
It marks the three stages of the same truth: matter → change → spirit.
This is why, in manuscripts like the Voynich or any other esoteric work from that era, when you see a repeated word three times, it’s not a scribal error — it’s a deliberate rhythm, an initiation code written into language itself.

i am surprised because this is a pretty basic knowledge.
