What reading level is The History, Theory, And Practice of Illuminating book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In England, on the other hand, the style was not so harmo- nious but more vigorous, the colouring was fuller and deeper, the action of the figures more intense, the power of expres- sion more concentrated, and reaching occasionally in its energy almost to caricature, the sense of humour always freely developed, and a more generally active sentiment of life impressed upon design, not only in figure subjects, but in ornament. In the latter, monkeys and other animals, dra- gons, and comic incident...s, are very frequently intermingled with graceful foliage and heraldic embellishments. In fact it is to the credit of both countries that, with so much that is excellent in common, they should still have displayed such free and distinctive features as marked the works of each re- spectively. About the year 1400, in both countries the mechanical reproduction of the accredited types and leading incidents of Scripture and of Catholic faith began to be abandoned ; and, mainly from the necessity of giving to the historical personages introduced in secular romances and chi'onicles individual force and vigour, an attention to por- traiture and a transcription of characteristic traits of active life are freely developed.
