Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Still worth having on the shelf.

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared.

Exactly as described

As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Glad I finally picked this up.

Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Well worth it.
