    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 5??/11??-century folios of S?bawayh?s Kit?b that we are editing here contain three distinct Western recensions of the text. These folios offer valuable insights into the transmission of the Kit?b and the evolution, survival, and disappearance of its recensions.

    Long description:

    The 5??/11??-century folios of S?bawayh?s Kit?b that we are editing here are particularly notable for containing three distinct Western (Andalusian or North African) recensions of the famous grammatical text. The first recension, by a certain ?Ab? al-?asan ?A?mad bin Na?r, was subsequently emended by a second scribe to align it with the recension of ?Ab? ?a?far al-Na???s (d. 338/949), and later by a third scribe who aligned it with the recension of ?Ab? ?Abd All?h al-Rab??? (d. 358/969).

    To this day, the first recension has remained unknown to the grammatical tradition. The second recension, though known to scholars, is being published here for the first time, while the third recension is found in numerous manuscripts across the world.
