I keep coming back to this one. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Would buy from this store again.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Glad I finally picked this up.
Added this to my reference shelf. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Already eyeing my next order.
