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:
A critical edition of the Old English homilies in Vercelli, Biblioteca Capitolare MS CXVII, with parallel passages from related manuscripts. The introduction deals with the manuscript, language, parallel texts and Latin sources. The text has a critical apparatus giving the readings of other manuscripts and analogues from the other homilies, and there is a commentary and glossary. This is the first complete edition of these important ninth- or tenth-century texts.
'The need for a complete annotated edition of the prose texts in the Vercelli Book has long been evident: the book is a linchpin for our understanding of anonymous Old English prose, of crucial importance as the earliest extant collection. This need has now been admirably met by Donald Scragg's superb edition, which more than supplies all that could be hoped for from such an undertaking. Scragg performs an admirable work of summary, synthesis, and discussion, and his printing of all known direct sources at the bottom of the page facilitates comparison. All in all, this is a most welcome, meticulous work, an essential possession for all Anglo-Saxonists.'
