What reading level is De Orbe Novo, the Eight Decades of Peter Martyr D'anghera book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is another very convenient custom for the traders or strangers at Temistitan. There is not a square, nor a cross-roads, nor a junction of two or three streets, where a lodging house is not found, where boiled or roasted meats, birds or quadrupeds are ready at any hour of the day. They eat neither beeves nor goats nor sheep ; the meats in general demand are little dogs, which they castrate and raise for food, deer, and wild boars.
The people are skilful hunters, and the country produces ha...res, rabbits, pigeons, quails, partridges, and pheasants.
Their domestic animals are geese and ducks, and they also keep a number of peacocks, which we call hens, and which they rear as our housekeepers do their chickens.
I have already somewhere said that these animals resemble our pea-hens in size and the colour of their plumage, but I have not described their habits. The females lay twenty or sometimes thirty eggs, so the number of the flock is always increasing. The cocks are constantly in rut, and consequently their flesh is always mediocre.
