What reading level is Peter Abélard book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But St. Medard was a prison; that sufficed to turn the scale. A removal from the penitentiary would be equivalent, in the eyes of France, to a revocation of the censure passed on him. So with a heart that was hopelessly drear, not knov/ing whether to smile or weep, he went back, 192 Peter Abelard poor sport of the gods as he was, to the royal abbey.
For a few months Brother Peter struggled bravely with the hard task the fates had set him. He was probably wise enough to re- frain from inveighing..., in season and out of season, against the ''intolerable unclean- ness " of Adam and his monks. Possibly he nursed a hope — or was nursed by a hope — of having another "cell" entrusted to his charge. In spite of the irregularity of the ^abbey, formal religious exercises v/ere ex- tensively practised. All day and night the chant of the breviary was heard in the monastic chapel. There was also a large and busy scriptorium ; the archivium of the ancient abbey was a treasury of interesting old documents ; and there was a relatively good library.
