What reading level is History of the Byzantine Empire, From Dccxvi to Mlvii.: From Dccxvi to Mlvii book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sincerity of both the ecclesiastical parties, in their early contests, obtained for them the respect of the people ; but when the political question concerning the sub- jection of the ecclesiastical to the civil power became the principal object of dispute, official tyranny and priestly am- bition only used a hypocritical veil of religious phrases for the purpose of concealing their interested ends from popular scrutiny. As usual, the people saw much farther than their rulers supposed, and ...the consequence was that, both parties being suspected of hypocrisy, the influence of true religion was weakened, and the most sacred ties of society rent asunder.
The Byzantine clergy showed themselves ready on all occasions to flatter the vices of the civil government : the monks were eager for popular distinction, and acted the part of dema- gogues ; while servile prelates and seditious monks were both equally indifferent to alleviating the people's burdens.
Every rank of society at last proclaimed that it was weary of religious discussion and domestic strife.
