What reading level is Peter Vischer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The bases of the eight slender pillars are formed by all sorts of strange figures and creatures suggestive of the world of pagan mythology, gods of the forest and of the sea, nymphs of the water and the wood. Between them are some lions couchant which recall to the memory Wolgemut's Peringsdorffer altarpiece. At the four corners are real candlesticks held by the most graceful and seductive winged mermaids, with fish-tails and taloned feet, about whom ser- pents twine. But the most famous and th...e most beautiful figures are those of the twelve apostles, which stand, each about two feet high, under de- licate canopies, on shafts of the piers already mentioned. Clad in graceful, flowing robes, their expression and whole attitude eloquent both of vigour and of tranquil dignity, these statues are wholly admirable. What sculpture or painting could convey to a higher degree the sense of the intellectual and moral beauty and strength which centred in these first followers of Christ ? This 45 PETER VISCHER characteristic pervades them all, but the unity of suggestion is conveyed through a variety of in- dividualities and of pose.
