What reading level is Siciliana book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Another mosaic of still better execution represents Christ placing the crown on the head of King Roger. The king's figure is a portrait : a fine head, with the hair falling on the neck and a pointed beard. He wears a long blue garment, and over it a blue tunic embroidered in gold, on his shoulders a blue and gold T98 SICILIANA stole, which crossing on his breast, falls over his left arm ; on his head a crown, or rather a square berretta, and rose-coloured shoes on his feet. Such was also the ...attire of Frederick ii. When his coffin was opened ; such also was that of Henry vi. And William i. Morso correctly holds that all these symbols of royal dignity were spiritual insignia, and he recalls the fact that Roger had received them from Pope Lucius ii. In order to endow his kingship with a higher consecration. These insignia were, according to Otto of Freising, sceptre, ring, dalmatica, mitre and sandals.
Unfortunately the mosaics of the tribune were destroyed in a restoration of the sixteenth century, and the form of the tribune itself has been trans- formed in baroque taste.
