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:
John Fisher, bishop of Rochester and Chancellor of Cambridge University, was one of the most distinguished churchmen of his time and a celebrated preacher. He was beheaded by Henry VIII for his opposition to the king's divorce from Catherine of Aragon. Henry subsequently suppressed Fisher's published works and tried to blacken his reputation. This edition of Fisher's writings contains works printed for the first time since the sixteenth century.
MoreLong description:
Bishop John Fisher was a scholar and theologian of European reputation, famous as a preacher and author of the first sermon-sequence to be printed in English. He was beheaded for his opposition to Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and pursued after his death by the enmity of the king, who surpressed his books and sought to blacken his name.
The figure of John Fisher links the age of late medieval piety with the growth of Christian humanism and the new learning, which, as a friend of Erasmus, he introduced as chancellor of Cambridge University. His English writings are distinctive for their structured elegance and clarity. This new edition contains sermons written during the last fifteen years of Fisher's life, including a previously unpublished eyewitness account of the Field of Cloth of Gold celebrations, and devotional works composed while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London.
... admirable for its organization ... Fisher's work is submitted to the meticulous handling of modern scholarship, each and every text receiving both a critical introduction providing context and historiography, followed by pages of fruitful commentary.
