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:
A previously unpublished fifteenth-century book of knowledge, written in verse in question-and-answer form and enclosed in a framing adventure story. The English version is taken from an Old French source. The work covers a very wide range of topics and is of interest as an index of popular beliefs in the Middle Ages. Volume I will include an Introduction. Volume II (EETS OS 312) will contain the remainder of the text, explanatory notes, and a glossary: it is due to appear in 1999.
MoreLong description:
A previously unpublished fifteenth-century book of knowledge, written in verse in question-and-answer from and enclosed in a framing adventure story. The English version is taken from an Old French source. The work covers a very wide range of topics and is of interest as an index of popular beliefs in the Middle Ages.
This parallel-text edition, which includes an Introduction, is based on the only two complete manuscripts of the Middle English text, collated with all other known English manuscripts of the poem.
Volume II (EETS OS 312) will contain the remainder of the text, explanatory notes, and a glossary. It is due to appear in 1999.
Until this edition appeared, I confess to complete ignorance of idrak and Bokkus. It seems to have escaped the watchful eye of other bibliographers and historians as well, but thanks to Burton's monumental efforts it can now be consulted in a reliable edition.
