What reading level is Cups And Their Customs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From this root, though more immediately derived from Scutella, a concave vessel, through the Italian Scodella and the French Ecuelle (a porringer), we have the homestead word Skillet still used in England. There is no lack, in old chronicles, of examples illustrative of that most barbarous practice of converting the skull of an enemy into a drinking-cup, Warnefrid, in his work 'De Gestis Longobard.,' says, "Albin slew Cuminum, and having carried away his head, converted it into a drinking-vesse...l, which kind of cup with us is called Schala." The same thing is said of the Boii by Livy, of the Scythians by Herodotus, of the Scordisci by Rufus Festus, of the Gauls by Diodorus Siculus, and of the Celts by SUius Italicus. Hence it is that Eagnar Lodbrog, in his death-song, consoles himself with the reflection, " I shall soon drink beer from hollow cups made of skulls " In more modern times, the middle ages for example, we find historic illustration of a new use of the word, where Skoll was applied in another though allied sense.
