Praise for the Print Edition

The style of the translation is entirely free from conventionalism, and the author has aimed throughout to produce a faithful rendering into modern English of the niceties of the original. The ‘doctrinal lessons’ consist of apothegmatic sentences, rounded and polished into the form of proverbial utterances, which are charged with thought and rich in suggestion.
