What reading level is The Growth of the Temporal Power of the Papacy: a Historical Review With ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their efforts resulted in total failure ; no more than half a dozen cardinals, two archbishops, and a few abbots comprising the assembly, which Louis himself characterized as a comedy. The illness of the Pope, at this time, inspired the erratic Emperor with the sin- gular idea of becoming himself a candidate for the tiara. He assumed the Imperial title of Pontifex Maximus, and, by pawning the Imperial jewels, raised the sum of 300,000 ducats for distribution amongst the cardinals at the anticip...ated conclave. It is curious to observe how the princes of this period seemed to have exchanged parts: c Maximilian wished to be a Pope and saint, and Louis XII was holding a Council ; while the Pope himself, aping the name and deeds of the greatest of the Csesars, and covering his white hairs with a helmet, led a body of old priests under the cannon's mouth V The Pope recovered, and the only important result of the Council of Pisa was the alliance, called the Holy League, concluded by the Pope, the King of Spain, and the Republic of Venice ; with whom were afterwards associated the Emperor, and Henry VII of England.
