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:
This book aims to offer a unified historical treatment of all that is usually understood as ?ancient scholarship? or ?ancient philology? and is the first modern work to cover a period from the beginnings to the fall of Byzantium after John Edwin Sandys? work published between 1903-1908. The field ?ancient scholarship? includes the exegesis of Greek authors, the editing of their texts, orderly collections of materials useful for exegetical purposes ? such as lexeis, onomatologies, collections of antiquarian materials et similia ?, the study of grammar, reflection on language, and everything that can be linked to this sphere, that is to say literature and the instruments for interpreting it. If it is hard today to imagine such a work being undertaken by a single scholar, it is worth underlining the benefits offered by a volume with multiple expert voices in a field so complex and multiform. The book is based on the four historiographical chapters of Brill's Companion to Ancient Greek Scholarship (2015), which have been enlarged, updated and rethought.
"Der Band ist äusserst facetten- und informationsreich. (...) [Er] bietet eine gelungene Einführung in das komplexe Gebiet auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung und wird sich hierfür als das Referenzwerk etablieren." - Eva Wöckener-Gade, in: The Byzantine Review 03.2021
''Bien qu?on voie défiler tous les grands noms de la philologie et de la critique littéraire antique, on est loin d?une simple énumération d?auteurs et d??uvres, une attention spéciale étant accordée aux explications historiques des divers changements. En insistant sur la façon dont la culture de l?empire byzantin se nourrit de l?antiquité, ce livre a comme principal mérite de montrer tout ce que la civilisation doit aux textes anciens.
'' - Madalina Dala, in: Anabases. Traditions et réceptions de l?Antiquité 04.2022
