Took a chance on this and glad I did. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Every rereading turns up something I missed. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Recommended with reservations.
This exceeded my expectations. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Great value for what you get.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Some archaic spellings slow things down.
My book club chose this last month. A text you study rather than simply read. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Shipping was quick too.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Great value for what you get.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Happy enough with the purchase.
