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:
The wide-ranging content of Places in Man represents the entire Hippocratic Corpus - some seventy medical treatises of different dates and authorship: anatomy, physiology, pathology, medical ideology, clinical instruction, traditional love, gynaecology. Places in Man is one of the most varied and, probably, the earliest. In this new edition of the Greek text with translation and commentary, particular attention is paid to the wider background of the Corpus and other early Greek medical texts.
MoreLong description:
The wide-ranging content of Places in Man represents the entire Hippocratic Corpus: anatomy, physiology, pathology, medical ideology, clinical instruction, traditional love, gynaecology. Despite this wide and varied scope, the work is conceptually coherent and stylistically consistent. In this new edition of the Greek text with translation and commentary, the language and content of the work are studied in relation to other treatises of the Hippocratic Corpus, and to fragmentary early medical writings (both Presocratics and texts of Anonymus Londinensis). It is argued that while there are `Koan' and `Knidian' elements, a West Greek origin is probable; and that this may be the earliest work in the Corpus.
A very useful source of the senior Classics student ... the volume deserves our unreserved recommendation.
