To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The writing called Capetian was used in England and in Germany, as well as in France, during the period above mentioned.
The Modern Gothic, which spread itself all over Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, is improperly so called, because it does not derive its origin from the writing anciently used by the Goths and Visigoths, in Italy and Spain, but this Modern Gothic is the most barbarous or worst kind of writing ; it took its rise in the decline of the arts, among the lazy schoolm...en, who had the worst taste ; it is nothing more than the Latin writing degenerated.— This writing began in the twelfth century, and was in general use (especially among monks and schoolmen) in all parts of Europe, till the restoration of the arts, in the fifteenth century, and longer in Germany and the northern nations : Our statute books are still printed in Gothic letters.
The most barbarous writing of the seventh, eighth, and ninth cen- turies, was not so bad as the Modern Gothic. This kind of writino- is so diversified, that it is not easy to describe its great variety ; the abbre- viations introduced by the writers were so numerous, that it was difficult to read them ; and this was one of the causes of the great ignorance of those times.
