What reading level is Chips From a German Workshop - volume I book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Even their most learned priests are satisfied with learning theZend-Avesta by heart, and with acquiring some idea of its import bymeans of a Pehlevi translation, which dates from the Sassanian period, or of a Sanskrit translation of still later date. Hence thetranslation of the Zend-Avesta published by Anquetil Duperron, withthe assistance of Dustoor Dârâb, was by no means trustworthy. It was, in fact, a French translation of a Persian rendering of a Pehleviversion of the Zend original. It was ...Burnouf who, aided by hisknowledge of Sanskrit, and his familiarity with the principles ofcomparative grammar, approached, for the first time, the very words ofthe Zend original. He had to conquer every inch of ground for himself, and his 'Commentaire sur le Yasna' is, in fact, like the decipheringof one long inscription, only surpassed in difficulty by his laterdecipherments of the cuneiform inscriptions of the Achæmenian monarchsof Persia. Aided by the labours of Burnouf and others, Dr. Haug has atlast succeeded in putting together the disjecta membra poetæ, and wehave now in his Outline, not indeed a grammar like that of Pâ_n_inifor Sanskrit, yet a sufficient skeleton of what was once a livinglanguage, not inferior, in richness and delicacy, even to the idiom ofthe Vedas.
