Finally got around to ordering this. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Shipping was quick too.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Solid, if not essential.
Was skeptical at first. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Well worth it.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them.
