ISBN: 9789004259652 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)

Time, Astronomy, and Calendars in the Jewish Tradition, edited by Sacha Stern and Charles Burnett, presents a wide selection of original research in this multi-disciplinary field, ranging from Antiquity to the later Middle Ages....
