What reading level is The History Principles And Practice of Symbolism in Christian Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the coinage of Herod Agrippa I. We find as a device an umbrella.
FIG. 84.
The flabellum had its origin in the Eastern Church, and was of distinctly practical use, cooling and refreshing the celebrant, and driving away the flies and other insect plagues of the sultry East from the eucharistic elements. With the spread of ritual came also the flabellum or muscarium, though in the less sunny lands of the North and West it ceased to be of any practical value. As its original employ- ment was one... of the duties of the deacon, it became a symbol of the diaconate, and in the early service books full directions were given at the ordination of a deacon as to the fit use of the muscarium then bestowed. The flabellum, though often of feathers, was also made of vellum, linen, and other materials of the kind, and we may sometimes find it a richly decorated disk of brass or silver. In an ancient Greek fresco we have a representation of the Saviour preaching, wh^e an angel holds a circular flabellum of metal over His head, as a protection against the sun.
