To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the text on scholarly principles without dogmatic pre- possession. In this direction however human thought advanced but slowly. Theologians in general were favour- able neither to textual criticism nor to frank interpretation, and it was not until the eighteenth century that the general movement of thought rendered such studies ac- ceptable to the learned, while the thorough and scientific investigation and classification of manuscripts belongs almost wholly to the nineteenth. When Copernicus i...n the middle of the sixteenth century produced his modest work on the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies, his voice was little heard amid the strife of tongues. Yet in fact he had not only made an immense advance in physical science, but his demon- stration, that the phenomena of the heavens were best explained by the hypothesis that the earth moves round the sun, produced in the end an immense revolution in man's conception of the world and of his own station in it. Man was no longer in the centre of the universe, but the inhabitant of an insignificant orb moving in infinite space.
