An enlightening book. But you would need some mastery over English if you want to go beyond Preface. Some of the sentences span a whole paragraph or more and you would have to have the whole paragraph in memory to grasp the meaning of the whole sentence.

The subject is quite as well, especially because the subject being discussed is at least 2000 years old. And we can only imagine how much the language would have changed in 2000 years (by comparing how much English has changed in the past 100 years). ( )
