Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Solid, if not essential.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. The font runs small in the appendices. Happy enough with the purchase.
