ISBN: 9789004110038 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book makes a substantial contribution to the study of Florentine history.

It reveals systematically the close ties between the University and major... This book makes a substantial contribution to the study of Florentine history.
