What reading level is Echoes of Old Florence, Her Palaces And Those Who Have Lived in Them book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There existed a kind of guild as early as 1204/ but the manu- facture was in a very primitive state till, in 1239, the monks of the Umiliati (an order founded by Barbarossa in Alexandria in 1184) came to Florence. In those days monks were useful members of society, some orders gave themselves to study and art, others to science and trade.
The tJmiliati were famous as dressers of wool. The Com- mune received them gladly, and gave them permission to build their convent just outside the town, in t...he Borgo, or suburb near the Arno. They first used as their chapel the little Church dedicated to All Saints, and so the street became known as Borgognissanti. By the 14"" century the Umiliati had taught the Florentines so much in the art of dressing wool, and Rucellai had introduced such improvement in that of dyeing it, that the Arte della Lana was paramount in the city, and Florentines cloth was famous all over Europe.
' Scipio Aramirato says the Consuls of the Arte della Lana signed a treaby of peace hetween Florence and Siena in 1204.
