What reading level is Gilbertus Anglicus Medicine of the Thirteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But our judgment is largely guided by the transparency of this medium, since the medium itself is not per- — 33 — GlLBERTUS ANGLICUS ceived with much accuracy, except when it is transparent. Accord- ingly, as the lucidity of air is greater than that of water, an object looks more distant through air than through water. " "Why does not a single object appear double, inasmuch as we have two eyes?" To this he replies: "From the anterior part of the brain two optic nerves pass to the two eyes. But ...these two nerves unite at a certain point into one. Now, since the two nerves are of equal length, two images proceeding from a single object do not make the object seem double, but single, since the two images are united into one, and accordingly one object is seen as one image. " Other physiological speculations are introduced by the ques- tions : "May one see an object not actually present?" "Why do some animals see best objects at a distance, others those near at hand?" "Why are objects seen in their proper position?" All these questions are answered in accordance with the scholastic formulae, and, not infrequently, with considerable acuteness.
