Added this to my reference shelf. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Recommended with reservations.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
Exactly what I was looking for. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Glad I finally picked this up.
Finally got around to ordering this. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Highly recommend to serious students.
This exceeded my expectations. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Already eyeing my next order.
Exactly what I was looking for. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Well worth it.
This has been on my wishlist for months. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. One of my better finds this year.
