What reading level is Early Woodcut Initials Containing Over Thirteen Hundred Reproductions of Ornam book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In most works of this kind the subjects of the histoires are of a Biblical nature, particularly incidents in the lives of the saints, although relieved sometimes by a touch of the grotesque. In other missals the grotesque reigns supreme, showing how intimately it was associated with the idea of Church Art, as is well seen in the beautiful Books of Hours by Philippe Pigouchet and others, in which the borders are a mixture of the grotesque and the macabre. One of the books most frequently reprint...ed at this period was the Proprietairc, the translation of the work of Bartolo- maeus de Glanville, De proprietatibits reriun, which was the book on which Caxton worked at Cologne. It is a kind of general encyclopaedia, beginning with a disquisition on the Trinity, and ending with a chapter on Astrology. It is from this work that we have reproduced the twelve letters, amongst others the Q with a bagpiper, and an L representing a person in a fool's cap giving a baby pap. These occur in a great many other works of Philippe Lenoir.
