To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its use spread more and more ; coffee was offered to every guest, and as among us the people are accustomed to receive drink-money, the Turks in like manner had their coffee-money ; in large houses an especial servant was appointed to prepare and serve coffee ; nay, there existed a Turkish law, that if a man refused his wife coffee, she had a legal ground for separation. Thus was the custom of drinking coffee established in the seventeenth century, in the Levant and Egypt, about 150 years after... its commencement in Arabia. Previous to the middle of the seventeenth century, very little was known of coffee in Europe (excepting in Turkey). Prosper Alpin, a botanist of Padua, who was in Egypt to- wards the end of the sixteenth century, speaks of this beve- rage as general there, but unknown hi Europe ; his second edi- tion, published under the direction of Vesling, speaks of coffee as a medicinal agent, rare in Europe. It is not improbable that it came first to Venice. A letter is extant of Pietro della Valle, from Constantinople, in which he says (1615) that he intends to bring some coffee with him when he re- turns to Italy.
