What reading level is The Jews of Spain And Portugal And the Inquisition book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Among these Paul de Sta. Maria, Bishop of Burgos, and his sons, one of whom was Bishop of Cartagena, and Alfonso de Espina, who became Rector of the University of Salamanca, notably distinguished themselves, and fanned the flame of persecution which the populace were only too ready to keep alive.
While matters were in this threatening position in Spain, alarming indications showed themselves in the western kingdom of the Peninsula. In Portugal the position of the Jews had hitherto been highly f...avoured; as in Spain, they were liable to certain disabilities which were not very rigorously enforced. They dwelt generally in separate quarters, and were nominally subject to sumptuary laws as to apparel, &c. , but they were internally governed by their own regulations, their counsels being presided over by their Chief Eabbi, while frequently many of the highest offices in the State were confided to members of their body. The Chief Eabbi (Arrabi-M6r) was always appointed directly by the Crown, and so important was deemed the post that the filling-up of a vacancy in the office, which occurred in 1384, gave rise to a court intrigue, the effects of which exercised 24 The Jews of Spain and a lasting influence over the destinies of the country, and became the main cause of placing Don John of Aviz on the throne of Portugal, and averting the threatened fusion of that kingdom with Castile.
