    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.

    Short description:

    How did warriors in the Middle Ages fight with a lance on horseback? Do medieval artistic depictions of depicted armour corresponde to reality? How can an archangel on a fresco form our interpretation of archaeological finds? These and many other questions are addressed here.

    Long description:

    This volume examines the iconography of military equipment in the art of the Orthodox milieu in the Middle Ages. The authors address various problems, such as the veracity of representations of military equipment, the issue of presence of archaisms in the artwork, and the meaning and symbolism of armour in the Byzantine world.

    Taken together, these studies offer valuable insights for archaeologists and art historians concerned with the legacy of the medieval world, and for scholars interested in the history of military equipment.

    Contributors are Andrea Babuin, Timothy G. Dawson, Dejan Gjorgjievski, Piotr Ł. Grotowski, Marka Tomić, and Mamuka Tsurtsumia.
