    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The present volume offers the first critical edition, accompanied with English translation and commentary, of Sefer ha-Moladot, which addresses the doctrine of nativities and the system of continuous horoscopy in nativities, and of Sefer ha-Tequfah, which is devoted exclusively to continuous horoscopy in nativities. The doctrine of nativities makes predictions about the whole of an individual?s subsequent life on the basis of the natal chart, and the system of continuous horoscopy in nativities is concerned with the interval between life and death and makes predictions based mainly on anniversary horoscopes, which are juxtaposed with the natal horoscope. To Abraham Ibn Ezra?s mind, not only are these two doctrines the core of astrology; they also epitomize the praxis of the astrological métier.

    ?Sela...has provided explanatory appendices and very interesting notes about Jewish attitudes toward the sciences and astrology in the middle ages.? Reference & Research Book News, 2013.

    "In preparing these editions, translations, annotations, and appendices, Sela sheds great light on the intellectual energy expended on astrology by one of Jewry?s greatest poets and one of Jewry?s most brilliant biblical exegetes, whose commentaries have abiding value...the book is highly recommended for students and scholars..." -Mayer Gruber, Ben-Gurion Unversity, RRJ 19,1 (2016)
