Needed this for my research. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
Exactly what I was looking for. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Solid, if not essential.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. A text you study rather than simply read. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Still worth having on the shelf.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Solid, if not essential.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. You can tell why this work has endured. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. The font runs small in the appendices. Still worth having on the shelf.
