    Only to order.

    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.

    Long description:

    The 90 letters in this volume illustrate primarily the legal and journalistic dispute surrounding Reuchlins evaluation in the Jewish book controversy as well as the Kabbalistic studies of the Pforzheim humanist, which culminated in the publication of his three books 'De arte cabalistica' in March of 1517. There are very few letters from these years which do not touch on at least one of these subjects. The content of the correspondence does however have a much larger range. The letters deal with the procedure to determine the date of Easter at the Fifth Lateran Council as well as the genealogy of Marc, the history of an ancient gesture of blessing, Greek theories of harmony or the beginnings of occidental Ethiopian studies.

    ?Georg Burkard, who is responsible for the German translation of this volume, has the same objective as Adalbert Weh had in the previous volumes: a good legible text with a focus on the meaning of the text (Textsinn). Burkard reached his aim. His translation provides a good legible text in a modern language, which is as close to the Latin texts as possible. The translation has a fluent and narrative style of language without changing the content. [...] This edition is a helpful completion to the critical edition for any person without proficiency in Latin, dealing with Johannes Reuchlin or German humanism or philology and Jewish life in the 16th century. It offers a layman the possibility to experience Reuchlin's life, work and his 16th century context.? Manuela Kahle, Fast Review of Books in Renaissance
