What reading level is The Ladies of Dante's Lyrics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It had been touched upon by at least four Provengal troubadours; and among them is the writer whom Dante esteemed highest of all poets in the vulgar tongue, Arnaut Daniel, the inventor of the sestina. Concerning Amaut, he puts into the mouth of Guido Guinizelli, whom he meets in Purgatory, these words: " O brother, the spirit I am pointing out to thee with my finger was a better forger than I of the mother speech. Everything he surpassed — verses of love and prose of romances; so let fools chat...ter, who think the bard of Limousin [Giraut de Bornelh] excels him. To report rather than to truth they turn their faces, and thus fix their opinion before they listen to art or to reason." This Arnaut, who is cited four times by Dante in his treatise on com- position in the vernacular, offers repeated examples of the contrast of love and winter; but never does he in the least approach the masterly treatment exhibited in the work of his admirer.
The second sestina. Amor tu vedi ben che questa donna, though undoubtedly a " Pietra " poem, is quite differ- ent from the other two.
