What reading level is Cairo Jerusalem And Damascus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Since it was the custom of each succeeding Sultan to imprison numerous suspects, but to release many of those whom his predecessors had incarcerated, pos- sibly there were always many to whom the continuity of a dynasty was undesirable, for some persons are likely to have been interested in those who pined in captivity. Yet it would be unsafe to draw any infer- ences from ordinary communities to these regiments of freed slaves, torn violently from their homes in youth and spending their whole l...ives as garrison amid an alien population. The Janissaries would form the nearest parallel to them; but then the Janis- saries did not furnish the sovereign, nor ordinarily the ministers.
This Sultan — whose reign lasted from 1453 to 1460, and whose year of accession was noteworthy because in it Cairo was decorated to celebrate the taking of Constantinople by the Ottomans, who be- fore another century had passed were to be masters of Egypt also — like his predecessor perpetuated his name by a school, mosque and monastery in the ceme- tery that already contained some noble monuments of the kind.
