What reading level is William Caxton book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bobert Proctor, working in ^e library ol New Collie, Oxford, found in the binding of a book two smaU slips of vellum with some printing upon them in Caxton's type No. 5.
These turned out to be portions of a leaf of a hitherto unknoim Caxton, an edition of the Donaim melior, revised by Mandnellus, printed in folio. They are also the earliest specimens of Caxton's use of vellum. The date of the book would be about 1487.
In May, 1487, Caxton finished the printing of the Book of Good Manners, which... he had translated from the French at the request of one of his friends, William Flratt, a mercer of London who had lately died. The original book was written by Jacobus Magnus or Jacques L^rand, the author of the Sophohgium, and was evidently popular, for it was frequently reprinted, no less than four other Bnglish editions having been issued in the fifteenth century. Cax- ton's edition is a small folio of 66 leaves, and three copies, all in public libraries, are known. The finest is in the Cambridge Univer- sity Library, and another, also perfect, is in the Boyal Library at Copenhagen.
