What reading level is A History of Architecture in Italy From the Time of Constantine to the Dawn of the Renaissance V.2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the detail is of more delicate character than in the older church, and the walls and piers, instead of being equally divided between black and white stripes, are of white marble, with narrow courses of black occupying not more than a fifth of the sur- face. The treatment of the exterior ornament is of great refinement and beauty. The small doorway, in particular, in the bay of the aisle nearest the old cathedral (Fig. 357), reminds one strongly of the nearly contemporary doors and windows o...f the flanks of the Florence cathedral, which have been attributed to Giotto. The splayed jambs are highly decorated, with a slender twisted column on the outside, and support a similarly moulded pointed arch, enclos- ing a beautiful group of figures in relief, and crowned by a sharply pointed gable with crockets and finial, flanked by pinnacles of exqui- site design, with statues on their faces and summits. There can be no question that, had this project been carried to completion, Siena would have possessed the finest church in Italy.
