Beautiful edition

I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.

Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

Solid edition

Was skeptical at first. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Good, with the caveats above.

Exactly what I was looking for. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.

Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Well worth it.
