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:
First edition of 10th-century compendium of grammatical lore, second only in importance to &&&198;lfric's own Grammar.
MoreLong description:
When the famous Anglo-Saxon scholar &&&198;lfric wrote the first grammar in a European vernacular, he used as his direct source the Excerptiones de Prisciano excerpts from major curriculum authors of the medieval schools, including Donatus, Isidore and Priscian himself . The tenth-century text, probably of English origin, most probably compiled by &&&198;lfric, is an ambitious compendium of grammatical lore, and it is, with the exception of &&&198;lfric's own Grammar, arguably the most sophisticated Latin-learning text of the Anglo-Saxon age. Edited here for the first time,the Excerptiones appear with all scholia, an English translation, and a full contextual introduction.
DAVID W. PORTER is Professor of English, Southern University, Baton Rouge.
A major event in Anglo-Saxon studies... An immensely valuable edition. There is much important material in the account of early medieval grammatical studies in the introduction... A remarkable triumph, and the edition will add enormously to the accessibility of early medieval grammatical studies. MEDIUM AEVUM
