A friend in my study group recommended this one. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Solid, if not essential.
Needed this for my research. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Shipping was quick too.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. You can tell why this work has endured. 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.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Recommended with reservations.
