Why don't you give exact delivery time?

MoreLong description:
This book traces the diplomatic, cultural and commercial links between Constantinople and Venice from the foundation of the Venetian republic to the fall of the Byzantine Empire. It aims to show how, especially after the Fourth Crusade in 1204, the Venetians came to dominate first the Genoese and thereafter the whole Byzantine economy. At the same time the author points to those important cultural and, above all, political reasons why the relationship between the two states was always inherently unstable.
'... an important book on an important subject. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of Byzantium or the medieval Mediterranean.' The Journal of Ecclesiastical History
