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:
An extensive study of the Quartodeciman paschal liturgy. It centres on Melito's Peri Pascha, which is examined in its rhetorical and liturgical context, and reveals the work as the liturgical text employed in the Quartodeciman celebration at Sardis.
MoreLong description:
The purpose of this work is to determine the place of Melito's Peri Pascha in the paschal liturgy of the Quartodecimans at Sardis.
Its conclusion is that Peri Pascha constitutes the two parts of the Quartodeciman liturgy. The first part of the work is a liturgical homily on Exodus 12 which was delivered on the eve of Pascha, and the second half is the text of a commemorative ritual which constituted the celebration of Pascha itself.
This conclusion is based on a formal examination of the text in the contexts of Graeco-Roman rhetoric and of Jewish and Christian paschal liturgy and theology.
This is the first full-length study of Peri Pascha to be published, and the first extensive study of the Quartodecimans since 1953.
'His study is the most extensive, exclusiverly rhetorical analysis of Peri Pascha yet undertaken.'
William L. Petersen, Vigiliae Christianae, 2002.
'L'ouvrage est tr?s clair et fournit d'utiles mises au point sur la Pâque quartodécimane.'
J.-M. Auwers, Revue Théologique de Louvain, 2001.
