Exactly what I was looking for. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Shipping was quick too.
This edition finally does the material justice. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The font runs small in the appendices. Good, with the caveats above.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. A text you study rather than simply read. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
