What reading level is English Biography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
41-2.
A COMPARATIVE VIEW 245 anything resembling a dictionary of biography. 1 The cele- brated Lexicon wrought out by the industry of the Greek lexicographer Suidas (c. Roth century) is an uncritical collection of grammatical, geographical, and biographical information arranged in alphabetical order, bearing some little resemblance to an historical dictionary. Its compiler refers to a source of the biographical notices, the Onomato- logion or Pinax of Hesychius of Miletus, and we know that the ...excerpts of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, the chronicle of Georgius Monachus, the biographies of Diogenes Laer- tius, and the works of Athanaeus and Philostratus were also drawn upon. We may feel sure, however, that no dictionary of biography, in the true sense, existed among the ancients.
The work which pointed the way for makers of biographi- cal dictionaries may well have been the small volume compiled by Hermannus Torrentinus under the title Eluci- darius Carminum et Historiarum : vel Vocabularius Poeticus, continens Historias, Provincias, Urbes, Insulas, Fluvios, et Monies Illustres, and printed at Hagenaw, in November 1514.
