What reading level is The Wanderings And Homes of Manuscripts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* Part of his library may be found at Ghent, part at Holkham, and stray volumes at Cambridge (Peterhouse) and in the Arundel collection at the British Museum. They are very handsome books, and many have full- page paintings by capable artists, but the resulting impression is on the whole that of decadence. Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary (d. 1490), is a name famous among old bibliophiles. He got together a library of fine books, mostly recent copies made for him, and it was dispersed and * S...ee Eubel, Hierarchia Catholica Medii /Evi, ii. 248. 44 CHRONOLOGICAL SURVEY sacked by the Turks in 1526. It is spoken of with bated breath by the old writers, as if it had contained priceless treasures. I am sceptical. Ferdinand of Aragon and Calabria was a collector of the same kind, whose beautiful books, adorned with his arms in the lower margin of the first page, are many of them at Valencia, having passed to the University therje by way of the Abbey of St. Miguel de Los Reyes. These are of Italian and not of Spanish manufacture, and very fine they are.
