What reading level is Albrecht Dürer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
of the body into certain fractional parts, the other by a scale of 600 parts, similar to that employed by Leo Baltista Alberti, whose rnanuscript work Diirer is said to have seen in Venice. In the third he altered, according to fixed rules, the measurements which he had obtained from experi- ment ; and by increasing or diminishing certain of the propor- tions he obtained ludicrous figures, which were thinner or stouter than they should naturally have been. These, alterations he classified and a...rranged in pairs,— great and small, young and old, fat and thin,— and calls these epithets " expressions of dis- tinction.'' In the fourth book he treats of the different move- ments of the limbs and of the principles df fore-shortening.
Diirer contents himself solely with that which is outwardly manifest, and refrains from entering upon ' the wonderful con- struction of the limbs and joints, and the arrangements for their motion, because " this is known to those who study anatomy, and • I will let them tell about it" The work which Hogarth alludes to in his ' Analysis of Beauty ' as calculated to puzzle the man who attempts to follow the elaborate rules laid down, is still of value to those who have the patience to read it.
