What reading level is Life And Letters of Erasmus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Luther was not done with. Luther had risen from the dead, or, rather, the truth came out, while Eras- mus was still at Anderlac, that he had never died at Lecture XIV. 293 all, that he was alive under the Elector's protection, and would soon be heard of again under the shelter of the war. Violence had failed after all. There was nothing now for it but for Erasmus to step for- ward and put Luther down by argument. Statesmen, bishops, privy councillors, even friends like Lord Mountjoy in England,... wrote to him that he must do it. Erasmus must speak. Germany would listen to Erasmus when it would listen to no one else. He did not choose to be at once used and abused.
TO THE SECRETARY OF THE PRINCE OF NASSAU. 1 Anderlac, November 19, 1521.
I have no more to do with Luther than with any other Christian. I would sooner have him mended than ended ; but if he has been sowing poison, the hand that sowed it must gather it up again. They may boil or roast Luther if they like. It will be but one individual the less ; but mankind must be consid- ered too.
