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:
This collection of essays presents new work on the Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) which explores aspects of Ficino?s own thought and the sources which he used, and traces his influence on the philosophy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
MoreLong description:
This collection of essays honours Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) as a Platonic philosopher. Ficino was not the first translator of Plato in the Renaissance, but he was the first to translate the entire corpus of Platonic works, and to emphasise their relevance for contemporary readers. The present work is divided into two sections: the first explores aspects of Ficino?s own thought and the sources which he used. The second section follows aspects of his influence in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The papers presented here deepen and enrich our understanding of Ficino, and of the philosophical tradition in which he was working, and they offer a new platform for future studies on Ficino and his legacy in Renaissance philosophy.
Contributors include: Unn Irene Aasdalen, Constance Blackwell, Paul Richard Blum, Stephen Clucas, Ruth Clydesdale, Brian Copenhaver, John Dillon, Peter J. Forshaw, James Hankins, Hiro Hirai, Sarah Klitenic Wear, David Leech, Letizia Panizza, Valery Rees, and Stéphane Toussaint.
"All fifteen chapters are of high quality...As the editors rightly note in the introduction, collectively these essays demonstrate once again that any reduction of Ficino?s role to that of a translator of ancient philosophical works fails to capture Ficino?s wide-ranging interests and influence." M.V. Dougherty, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 65, No. 1 (Spring 2012), pp. 185-186.
"Nel complesso il volume fornisce un?analisi assai estesa dal punto di vista sia spazio-temporale che disciplinare." T.K., Bruniana & Campanelliana, anno xviii, 2012: 2, 657-658 pp.
