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:
Converso and Morisco are the terms applied to those Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in large numbers and usually under duress in late medieval Spain. The Converso and Morisco Studies publications will examine the implications of these mass conversions for the converts themselves, for their heirs (also referred to as Conversos and Moriscos) and for medieval and modern Spanish culture. As the essays in this first volume attest, the study of the Converso and Morisco phenomena is not only important for those scholars focused on Spanish society and culture, but for academics everywhere interested in the issues of identity, Otherness, nationalism, religious intolerance and the challenges of modernity.
Contributors are Michel Boeglin, William Childers, Barbara Fuchs, Mercedes García-Arenal, Juan Gil, Luis M. Girón-Negrón, Kevin Ingram, Francisco Márquez Villanueva, Mark D. Meyerson, Vincent Parello, Francisco Pe?a Fernández, Fernando Rodríguez Mediano, Elaine Wertheimer, Nadia Zeldes, and Leonor Zozaya Montes.
"Recommended to both specialists and non-specialists, this collection provides a wide-ranging picture of recent scholarship on Moriscos and, more generally, of religious minorities in Spain. Ingram has done a commendable job in bringing together essays that inform common subjects [?] The translation work by Nicola Stapleton and William Childers is admirable." ? Daniel I. Wasserman-Soler, Oberlin College, in: Sixteenth Century Journal 44/2 (2013), p. 632
"The wide scope of the analysis makes the book valuable for other scholars interested in the problems of religion, intolerance and religious minorities in the sixteenth century, establishing a very good springboard to jump into the stream of Converso and Morisco studies." ? Manuel F. Fernández Chaves, University of Seville, in: Sehepunkte 11/7-8 (2011) (15.07.2011)
"An innovative approach to the conversos and moriscos themes as related socio-cultural phenomena in Spanish history. [?] The thoughtful editing of Kevin Ingram succeeds in producing an interrelated set of essays while allowing for individual methods and interpretations. The editor has assembled a coherent collection of essays incorporating the changing perspectives that have emerged in converso and morisco studies." ? Raúl Marrero-Fente, University of Minnesota, in: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History 65/1 (January 2014), pp. 182-184
"Dans l?ensemble, l?ouvrage répond clairment aux objectifs de départ, volotairment restreints, en s?appuyant sut des contributions tr?s bien documentées qui viennent enirichi l?information de cette insatiable hisotire des morisques et des conversos dans la Péninsule ibérique." ? Edouard Sylv?ne, Université Lyon 3, in: Revue d?histoire ecclésiastique
