What reading level is Lucretia Borgia, According to Original Documents And Correspondence of Her Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Following a curious cus- tom of the day, which shows Folly and Wisdom side by side, just as we find them in Calderon's and Shakespeare's dramas, Lucretia presented the costly robe which she wore when she offered up her prayer, to one of her court fools, and the clown ran merrily through the streets of Rome, bawling out, " Long live the illustrious Duchess of Fer- rara! Long live Pope Alexander! " With noisy demon- strations the Borgias and their retainers celebrated the great event.
Alexander s...ummoned a consistory, as though this family affair were an important Church matter. With childish loquacity he extolled Duke Ercole, pronouncing him the greatest and wisest of the princes of Italy; he described Don Alfonso as a handsomer and greater man than his son Csesar, adding that his former wife was a sister-in-law of the Emperor. Ferrara was a fortunate State, and the house of Este an ancient one; a marriage train of great princes was shortly to come to Rome to take the bride away, and the Duchess of Urbino was to accom- pany it.* September 14th Csesar Borgia returned from Naples, where Federico, the last Aragonese king of that country, had been forced to yield to France.
