What reading level is Monuments of the Early Church book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Gothic architecture this motive was modified but not lost. There is certainly a difference to be observed in this respect between the Gothic cathedral and the early basilica, but not so blunt a contrast as is commonly drawn ; for even in the Gothic the perpendicular lines, strongly as they are marked, remain subordinate to the horizontal. In the round churches, and in domed churches of every description, there was a very different architectural principle at work ; for there the princi- pal a...xis was central and vertical. It seems hardly just to say THE BASILICA — Plan 105 that the Christian cult could not accommodate itself to this type of church by transferring the liturgical centre to the principal axis of the building — that is, by placing the altar in the mid- dle of the room. But it certainly did not do so ; and as long as the altar was kept near the periphery of the building there was a discord between the perpendicular axis of the architec- ture and the horizontal liturgical axis.
