What reading level is The Library in the Economy of the State. Address Delivered At the Annual Meeting of the Association in Library Week At Richfield Springs, September 15th, 1916 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Boyd, E. E. Public libraries and literary culture in ancient Rome. 1916, passiTn.
8 books of devotion, unredeemed by much literature of great merit, other than that of the Bible.
As it was, sacred and profane mingled in the scriptoria and on the shelves of the monastery library. To many a monk, Virgil and Homer were more familiar than the Hebrew Prophets. Though from many parchments the Greek and Latin classic was erased to make room for the homily or the discussion of some theological point, t...he taste of the cleric in many cases overcame his ecclesias- tical scruples, and the profane literature remained. It could not be otherwise in times when Aristotle, Plato and Pliny were considered authorities, when Virgil was placed just outside the gates of heaven, and when Seneca and Socrates were constantly cited on ethical points by the Christian fathers.
The cheap slave labor which had made possible the large collections of the Romans was no longer available.* The careful, elaborate text of the cloister, the beautiful illuminations, made reproduction of books a slow and costly process.
