Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Still worth having on the shelf.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Shipping was quick too.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Recommended with reservations.
Finally got around to ordering this. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. A text you study rather than simply read. Recommended with reservations.
My book club chose this last month. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
This exceeded my expectations. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition.
Long-time student of the esoteric here. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Every rereading turns up something I missed. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Still worth having on the shelf.
