What reading level is The Study of the Talmud in Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

From his responsa we see that many questions were addressed to him. The responsa, which have been preserved, were, it seems, all written by Alfasi in Lucena, and they are very interesting. Alfasi's responsa show the same depth of research, mastery of the subject, and independence of mind as his Halachoth. His T'shuboth, /■, which read almost like his Halachoth, are exceedingly inte-T*"^ resting. They are clear, concise, and, as a rule, shorter than the questions (which are often questions as to... P'shat and as to difficult words in the Talmud. ) I believe the responsa of Alfasi are the shortest in the whole of the responsa-literature. They also throw light on the Jewish life in Spain in that period. They show that in the time of Alfasi there were flourishing Jewish communities all over Spain. We also hear of relations of Spanish Jews to French . Jews (see Cj^lH JYblBMT, ed|Livorno, No. 223). U Alfasi is altogether a unique figure in the history of Talmudic learning. He lived to the age of 90.
