What reading level is Cathedrals And Cloisters of the Isle De France volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Auxerre 153 lassitude and degeneracy, of religious wars, and of danger and loss; — and, with the North tower and the North transept, the building of the Cathedral was abandoned. Begun in the first part of the XV century and finished only after a hundred years, this Northern transept is inevitably Flamboyant. In the larger outlines, it follows its model, the South transept, and its portals illustrate interesting scenes from the life of Saint-Germain, the famous Bishop of Auxerre. It is not witho...ut merit, but the lack of delicacy and an exuberance of detail are displays of the commonplace rather than outbursts of spontaneous and luxuriant fancy. Its prototype, the South transept, has, on the con- trary, the developed, reasoned culture of the Gothic of the first years of the previous century. As transept portals are of only secondary architectural importance in a Cathedral's plan, the magnificence of the doors of a facade is seldom repeated here; but of its type, the South wall of Auxerre is graceful and dignified; and, dedicated to the first Christian martyr, its bas-reliefs, which illustrate his life, form an interesting comparison with those of Saint Stephen's Portal in Notre-Dame of Paris.
