Students who enroll in Institute classes are required to purchase copies of the Required Texts. All editions are inexpensive paperback editions. It is imperative for an efficient use of our of very limited class time that we all have in our hands in class the same editions with the same translations and same pagination. These editions have been very carefully chosen after years of classroom experience and will form the core of our course work.
