What reading level is Critical Historical Essays 8 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
D. , when all Europe was in a state of denseignorance and mental degradation, the Arabs were the embodimentof culture and science, and the Arab empire extended at thattime over India, Persia, Arabia, Egypt (including Algeria andBarbary), Portugal, and the Spanish caliphates, Andalusia, Granada, etc. The descriptions of the splendour at the courtsof the Eastern caliphs at Bagdad seem almost incredible.
For instance, the Caliph Mahdi is said to have expendedsix millions of dinars of gold in a sin...gle pilgrimage toMecca. His grandson, Almamon, gave in alms, on one singleoccasion, two and a half millions of gold pieces, and therooms in his palace at Bagdad were hung with thirty-eightthousand pieces of tapestry, over twelve thousand of whichwere of silk embroidered with gold. The floor carpets weremore than twenty thousand in number, and the Greek ambassadorwas shown a hundred lions, each with his keeper, as a signof the king's royalty, as well as a wonderful tree of goldand silver, spreading into eighteen large, leafy branches, on which were many birds made of the same precious metals.
