What reading level is Maiolica book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Jacquemart con- siders as of the first period, those pieces having letters allusive to the Florentine republic, or the Medici arms and emblems ; or the motto of Giuliano di Medici. " Glovis " also occurs, which has been ingeniously deciphered as meaning " Si volg, " " it (fortune) turns, " if read backwards : referring to the favour shown to Giuliano when appointed Gonfalonier to the Church. A noble pitcher at South Kensington no. 17 15 (p. 93) has the Medici arms ; and, beneath, also the motto... Glovis. A large carelessly painted dish, in the British museum, the subject Abel's sacrifice, has the word " GLOVIS " and the letters S. P. Q. R. On the altar, and on the reverse the name, curiously spelt, " In Chafaggilolo " between the ordinary mark twice repeated. The name seems to have been spelt in various ways, as " Caffagiulo, " " Cafagiol, " " CafTag- giolo, " " Chaffaggiolo, " " Chafaggilolo, " " Gafagizotto, " &c.
Some of the specimens at South Kensington are of extraordi- nary beauty.
