No wheat and no spelt ... most days I have not tasted food, except like yolk, and when it reaches my innards, it rattles around like a bell, and my heart and brain become confused. His writings are well-written and well-reasoned ...” 2-46 leaf, possibly lacking the title page. The body of the book is intact. 23 cm. Fine condition. Typical usage and aging stains.
