Needed this for my research. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Five stars from me.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. It's become a regular reference in my practice. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
Needed this for my research. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Still worth having on the shelf.
Was skeptical at first. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Still worth having on the shelf.
