Aug 30, 2017 at 13:13 comment added TimR The word so expresses the degree of delicacy and subtlety. It implies that the matter is quite delicate and subtle. Your version omits the notion of degree.
Aug 30, 2017 at 13:12 comment added Bavyan Yaldo Is if it acceptable to put them after and before. Why it is not made one phrase such as: a delicate and subtle matter. Because the writer, put them separated from a matter. Look i changed the place of the determiner, (a) @Tᴚoɯɐuo
Aug 30, 2017 at 13:08 comment added TimR so delicate and subtle can be placed before or after a matter.
Aug 30, 2017 at 13:07 comment added TimR In a matter so delicate and subtle, it is not easy to judge.
Aug 30, 2017 at 13:04 comment added TimR matter is the object of preposition in, not the object of the verb judge.
Aug 30, 2017 at 13:03 comment added Bavyan Yaldo What does "matter" function? @Tᴚoɯɐuo a part of preposition phrase?
Aug 30, 2017 at 13:00 comment added TimR judge there is used intransitively, complemented by a prepositional phrase headed by in, in so delicate and subtle a matter. There is no direct object. That is, to judge in a matter that is so delicate and subtle.
