What reading level is A History of Ornament, Ancient And Medieval book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the absence of antique ruins to serve as quarries of ready- made decorative material, and without either models or trained artisans for the pro- duction of mosaic, carving and inlay, the arts of decora- tion had to be created anew.
The art that slowly emerged from this destitution was a struggling art, at first crude in design and execution. To its earliest phase the French give the name of Carolingian art. The architecture was massive, thick- jointed, spar- ing in ornament except about ^" l...^'pxu!!^o^«Ti^';;r'"the doorways, at which the builders' highest art was be- stowed. As the eleventh century advances, this art be- comes finer, richer, more knowing, still vigorous but bet- ter in technic; the accessory arts multiply and grow in perfection. There developed a certain unity of general style throughout France, controlled to a remarkable ex- tent by a rigid logic of construction. More than in any previous style in any land, the forms not merely of the structure proper, but also of its decoration, were deter- mined by the special exigencies of materials and struc- tural science.
