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 History of the Church of Abingdon is one of the most valuable local histories produced in the Middle Ages.

MoreLong description:
The History of the Church of Abingdon is one of the most valuable local histories produced in the twelfth century. It provides a wealth of information about, and great insight into, the legal, economic, and ecclesiastical affairs of a major monastery. Charters and narrative combine to provide a vital resource for historians. The present edition, unlike its victorian predecessor, is based on the earliest manuscript of the text. A modern English translation is provided on facing pages, together with extensive introductory material and historical notes.
This volume covers the period from the reputed foundation of the abbey and its estates to c.1071. Volume II, already published, covers from c.1071- c.1164.
John Hudson has admirably risen to the challenge of producing a readable translation of this text with exhaustive and erudite commentary. Scholars in the many fields touched by this text, from Anglo-Saxon legal history to Anglo-Norman historiography, are deeply in his debt for allowing the Abingdon chroniclers, both of them, to speak for themselves.
