What reading level is Churches And Castles of Mediaeval France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the tympana of the two smaller arches over the entrance are Herod directing the massacre of the Innocents, and the Flight into Egypt.
Between them, above, is a figure of Christ giving the blessing of the Trinity with upraised right hand, the first and second fingers being upright and the thumb crossing them in the conventional way for such a blessing.
The spirit of all the ornamentation of this arch is Digitized by VjOOQ IC 110 TWO ANCIENT B^ARNAIS CHURCHES undoubtedly religious, and I do no...t wish to criticise it in any irreverent spirit, but the effect is so irresis- tibly comical that no true description of it can be given that leaves out the funny side. The expres- sion of the wise man who mocks Herod would make the most melancholy of men laugh. It is a combina- tion of a leer, a sneer, and general hopeless idiocy.
Moreover, he stands on one leg, and twists the other leg about the one on which he stands. This twisted leg, if unwound, would reach I don't know how far beyond the limits of the bas-relief.
