What reading level is The Biography And Typography of William Caxton Englands First Printer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About the middle of the fifteenth century two distinct French versions were made. The earlier was probably that by Jean Faron, in 1347, who translated it literally from the original Latin. About the same time appeared the favourite and standard work of Jehan de Vignay, who took great liberties with the text, and added many stories and fables. Both these men were of the order of Preaching Friars, and seem to have worked quite independently of one another. Caxton's edition was principally from th...e version of Jehan de Yignay, to whom he gives the title of "an excellent Doctor of Divinity, of the Order of the Hospital of St. John's of Jerusalem, " which is remarkable, as in his preface Jean de Yignay styles himself BOOKS FEINTED IN TYPE NO. 1.
173 " hospitaller de Pordre de haut pas, " and he is so termed in all the manuscripts. On comparing the English and the two French versions, it is evident that Caxton must have been well acquainted with both. His prologue addressed to the Duke of Clarence contains, nominis mutatis, the whole of Jean de Vignay's dedication to Prince John of France ; while Chapters I and III are taken entirely from the translation of Jean Faron.
