    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:

    Was wir als Heiliges Land kennen, ist nicht nur das Land der Bibel. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes zeigen, wie das Heilige Land mehr noch als durch biblische Texte durch außerkanonische Traditionen wie Texte, Rituale und materielle Kultur geschaffen wurde. What we know as the Holy Land is not merely the biblical land. The contributions to this volume demonstrate how it - perhaps even more than through biblical texts - was created by extracanonical traditions of texts, rituals, and material culture.

    Long description:

    Das Heilige Land ist mehr als ein geheiligter geographischer Raum innerhalb der Grenzen der römischen Provinz Palästina. Es ist vor allem ein vorgestellter und imaginierter Raum, der durch das Zusammenspiel von Texten, Ritualen und materialer Kultur entstanden ist. Die Autoren der Beiträge dieses Bandes arbeiten heraus, welche Rolle die extrakanonischen und parabiblischen, oft missverständlich als apokryph bezeichneten Traditionen bei der Konstruktion des Heiligen Landes spielten. The Holy Land is more than a sanctified geographical space that roughly corresponds to the Roman province that has been known as Palaestina since the end of the Bar Kochba War. Instead, it is primarily an idea and imaginative space created by a complex interaction of texts, rituals, and material culture. The authors of this volume's contributions highlight the major role that extracanonical traditions - often misleadingly called apocryphal - which were written and read, celebrated and performed, and embodied in places, buildings, and material culture, have played in the construction of the Holy Land.
