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.

MoreLong description:
The late thirteenth-century manuscript, Oxford, Bodleian Library Digby 86, contains a personal anthology of nearly 100 texts in French, English and Latin, including secular literature, devotional material, and texts with practical applications, ranging from medical care for humans and birds to games and party tricks. Many of the texts are unique to this manuscript. It contains 18 English texts, including lyrics, the earliest English Fabliau (Dame Sirith), and the beast-epic, `The Fox and the Wolf'.
The manuscript, which was assembled by a layman associated with Redmarley d'Abitot (Gloucestershire), provides and important witness to the context in which these texts were preserved and read.
As with any facsimile, the importance of this book lies in the exposition of the manuscript itself. Here the photographs are wonderfully clear and each covers the entire page plus the fold and a portion of the facing page, allowing as much of the margin to be viewed as is possible ... The Early English Text Society and Professors Tschann and Parkes have produced a facsimile of the highest quality, a production that one may safely assure is for posterity.
