What reading level is The Lombard Communes; a History of the Republics of North Italy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Parma the new office was abolished in 1244, almost as soon as it was set up ; and not till 1253 do we hear of another Captain of the People in that city. In that year it was revived in the person of Ghiberto da Gente, already Podesta of the Merchants, who took advantage of it to make himself despot of the city. This latter proceeding was, indeed, a common one in those cities where the resistance of the old privileged classes was great. The popolo were ready to sacrifice their liberty, if by ...so doing they could crush their oppo- nents. The best example of this is the history of the Delia Torre in Milan.
Ghiberto was overthrown in 1250, and the Captainship of the People abolished. It was set up again in 1266, a year in which the Ghibellines were expelled, and the people definitely triumphed over the nobles thus weakened. The government of Parma passed now into the hands of the trades guilds. For nearly forty years Parma enjoyed prosperity under this new govern- ment. The private quarrels of the nobles were repressed ; their insolence towards the lower orders was curbed by statutes passed in 1279.
