What reading level is The Lives of the Popes V.1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For there happening a controversy about the election, the citizens being for Peter, an Archbishop, and the soldiers for one Theodorus, a priest, at length, after a long contention, both parties agreed in the choice of Conon. And indeed he did every way deserve so great a dignity ; being a man of great learning and very good life, pious and devout, of a comely person, and most venerable, or as some called it, angelical aspect ; of wonderful simplicity and sincerity, modesty and justice, resoluti...on and prudence. For these excellent endowments of his all persons concerned with mighty acclama- tions of applause immediately confirmed his election ; as did also Theodorus, Exarch of Ravenna, who, being deceased, was not long after succeeded in the Exarchate by John Platina, whom I believe to have given the name to the place of my nativity, called Platina, within the territory of Cremona. For there being frequent wars between the exarchs and the kings of Lombardy, it is not improbable, considering that that place was situated almost in the midway between Ravenna and Pavia, one of which was the seat of the Lombard kings, the other of the exarchs, there might at some time be a battle fought or a camp pitched there, from whence we know that names are oftentimes given to places, as particularly in the same country there isVitelliana,a town so called from Vitellius's encamping there, and Bebrignano, not far from Babriacum, famous for the defeat which Otho there received.
