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.

MoreLong description:
In Anchorages of Faith. Experiencing and Shaping the Holy in the East Adriatic (1300–1550), Vesna Šćepanović follows pilgrimage reports to trace a network of sanctuaries that marked the sacred topographies of the Istrian-Dalmatian coast—a key segment of the maritime route to Jerusalem. By combining rich Holy Land travelogues with other primary sources and material evidence, the shaping of cultic spaces emerges as a gradual, multifaceted process, where pilgrims appear not as passive narrators but as active recipients—and co-authors—of the sacred landscapes they visited. This study offers fresh insights into the dynamic interplay between local and new actors, devotional practices, and the sensory experience of religious materialities along this pivotal medieval pilgrimage route.
