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:
This collection of essays analyzes the relationships that exist between esotericism and music from Antiquity to the 20th century, investigating ways in which magic, astrology, alchemy, divination, and cabbala interact with music. The volume seeks to dissolve artificial barriers between the history of art, music, science, and intellectual history by establishing an interdisciplinary dialogue about music as viewed against a specific cultural background. The synthesis of scientific and historical contexts with respect to music, explored here on a large scale for the first time, opens up a wealth of new approaches to music historical research, music performance, and musical composition. Each chapter presents either a unique example of music functioning within esoteric and scientific traditions or a demonstration of the influence of those traditions upon selected musical works.
L?ouvrage analyse les relations entre l?ésotérisme et la musique de l?Antiquité au 20?me si?cle étudiant comment la magie, l?astrologie, l?alchimie, la divination et la cabale ont interagit avec la musique. Il vise ? dépasser les fronti?res entre l?histoire de l?art, l?histoire de la musique et l?histoire des sciences et des idées afin de nouer un dialogue interdisciplinaire sur la musique autour de contextes historiques et scientifiques précis. L?ouvrage offre une premi?re synth?se sur les rapports entre ésotérisme et musique ainsi que diverses pistes de recherche ? poursuivre.
Having read the book with much pleasure, I would like to applaud the authors for their expedition into this intriguing field of relations between music, science and ?esotericism?. I hope that the essays will be read not only by scholars interested in the individual philosophers and musicians analysed, but also by those concerned with general patterns within the European history of religion and the theoretical considerations arising from a study of this researchfield. - Isabel Laack, Universität Heidelberg in: Religion, Volume 42 (2012), Issue 1.
