Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

Exactly as described

Needed this for my research. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Definitely recommend.

I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Good, with the caveats above.
