de Occulta Philosophia, Libri Tres
ISBN: 9789004094215 / Angielski / Twarda / 668 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

By precisely defining and chronicling external schooling, M.M. Hildebrandt invites the reader to reconsider conventional notions about the nature of the Carolingian educational program. The author...
