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:
The first scholarly critical edition of Francis Bacon's seminal biographical and political study of King Henry VII, with editions of his biographical sketch of Henry VIII, a lively collection of witty anecdotes, his thoughtful debate over the prospect of holy war in his time, and six verse translations from the psalms.
MoreLong description:
This volume belongs to the critical edition of the complete works of Francis Bacon (1561-1626), an edition that presents the works in broadly chronological order and in accordance with the principles of modern textual scholarship. This volume contains critical editions of five varied works Bacon composed during the 1620s. The most significant and substantial of these five works is his biography of Henry VII (The historie of the raigne of King Henry the seventh) but the volume testifies as well to Bacon's continuing robust allegiance to his youthful vaunt that all knowledge was his province, for it also includes his sketch for a biography of Henry VIII, An advertisement touching an holy war (a thoughtful debate over the prospect of holy war in his own time), Apophthegmes (a lively collection of witty anecdotes, classical to early modern), and his select verse translations from the psalms. In each case an authoritative text has been established based upon fresh collation of the relevant manuscripts and of multiple copies of the seventeenth editions, and subjected to a thorough bibliographical analysis of the treatment of Bacon's texts in the early modern printing-house. The Introductions discuss the occasion and context for each work, evaluate his creative transmutation of his sources, and weigh their contemporary reception. A comprehensive commentary identifies and parses Bacon's use of source material, from his refinement of published literary and historical sources and contemporary MSS to the political white papers composed while he served as counsellor to King James. An extensive glossary is integrated into this commentary. An Appendix provides full bibliographical descriptions of all of the textual witnesses, manuscript and printed edition.
As with the OFBs other six volumes, volume 8 not only provides an excellent, unmodernized text, but also exemplary scholarly apparatus, as the explication of textual witnesses, the establishment of the copy text, and so forth are carried out clearly and succintly, while each text benefits from a substantial and comprehensive commentary, and is placed neatly into its bibliographical, intellectual, and historical context ... It is a book for the serious Bacon scholar, and one which can only enhance the reputation of author and editor.
