What reading level is Cathedral Cities of Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The chief interest of the Sala I found to be in a study of the paintings on the semi-circular domed roofs. They portray the Moor of the period. The middle one, that in the chapel-recess, no doubt contains portraits of Granada's rulers in coun- cil. The other two represent hunting scenes and deeds of chivalry. It is supposed that the Koran forbids the de- lineation of any living thing. The Moor got over this [77] CATHEDRAL CITIES OF SPAIN difficulty by portraying animal life in as grotesque a ma...nner as possible, or by employing foreign captives to do this for him. . One theory of the origin of the Lion Fountain is that a captive Christian carved the lions and gave his best — or his worst — as the price of his liberation.
Personally I think they are of Phoenician origin. Ani- mals and birds in decoration reached the Moor from Persia, where from unknown ages they had always been employed in this way; and the Mosil style of hammered metal work is replete with this feature.
On the north side of the court lies the Room of the Two Sisters, with others opening out from it, which seems to point to the probability that this was the suite occupied by the Sultana herself.
