"The entire collection is fantastic. Every essay is worth reading and the volume is the sort which can be consulted because the essays contained therein are 'on the cutting edge' of contemporary scholarship. The honoree is to be congratulated for his years of scholarly work and those who offered essays in his honor are as well as they thereby push ever forward this field of study."
