What reading level is Miscellaneous Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The document is much too long to quote, and would require, besides, a legal commentary. But a few specimens may be inserted to show how the great landlord at Eome went into the minuticB of the business of his Sicilian estate with his agent, and with what determined and earnest justice he set himself to guard his tenants from the unfairness and oppression of his ofBcers, and their constant tendency towards fees and pickings for themselves. Thus, the rent of the Church estates in Sicily, like tha...t of the land generally in the island, consisted partly in cargoes of com, furnished by the tenants, the rustici eccleske, to the agent, and shipped by him to Eome at the peril of the tenants ; partly, in equivalent money payments. But the tenants, Gregory writes, had been hardly dealt with and burdened in the assessment of these rents. Accord- ingly, he peremptorily orders that the assessment is henceforth to depend on the public market price of wheat. He further orders that, in case of shipwreck, the loss, if reasonable care had been taken, shall not fall on the tenant, or oblige him to furnish another shipload ; that the tenants should not be compelled, as they had been unfairly and unrighteously, to deliver the corn in a larger bushel than was used to measure it in the warehouses of the Church, or THE LETTERS OF POPE GREGORY I 233 to reckon a larger number of parts {sextarii) to the bushel than the legal and nominal number ; and he fixes definitely the measure of the bushel to be used.
