What reading level is The Early Development of Mohammedanism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What must be said of the jurists and traditionalists is, that whatever the value of their second source of law, they spared no pains in endeavouring to recover it. In order to find out the true amount of the jizyah or tribute exacted from Jews and Christians in the Yemen under the Prophet's regulation, Shafi'i travelled over the whole of that country and asked for information in every province.^ In order to dis- cover the true theory of pious benefactions, he con- sulted many of the descendants... of the Refugees and Helpers in the sacred cities. '^ He consulted more than one member of the family of Omar and of the family of Ali about practice.^ What he did in his time was doubtless done by others before his time, and it is partly due to the rise of this source of law that posterity knows so much about the Companions of the Prophet, each one of whom was a sort of oracle.
In order to compile a code of law on so strange a foundation as casual observation of what one man had said or done, research had indeed to be indefatig- ably carried on ; and since it was impossible to leave questions unanswered, much had to be accepted on very imperfect attestation.
