What reading level is The Skeptics of the Italian Renaissance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Meanwhile Pomponazzi again took up his pen to indite an Apology.^ In this work, published in 1518, he declaims in bitter and sarcastic terms on the ignorance, vice and hypocrisy of the clergy. His enemies were not a whit behind him in plainness of speech ; and what they could not effect by the more refined instrumen- tality of wit and sarcasm, they tried to accomplish by vulgar vitupera- tion and low abuse. What was the effect we might ask of these attacks, which were continued with slight inte...rruption to the close of his life, on Pomponazzi *s standpoint? . . . Did he, for that or any other reason, modify it in subsequent writings. His two most recent critics, Professors Fiorentino and Ferri, differ upon this point. The former supposes that Pomponazzi*s account of the nature of the intellective- soul laid down in the Be Immortalitaie^ is distinctly developed in a materialistic direction in his Apologia^ and in another work bearing the title of Be Nutritione.^ Professor Ferri denies this, and supports his denial with an elaborate and, to my mind, conclusive argument.^ book, in which the author says, expressly, ' hanc libellom ad te scripsi, et sub amplitudine Tui Sanctissimi nominis publicandum esse ouravL' The author may be permitted to say that he has this rare work of Niphus, together with the most important of his other writings, in his library.
