What reading level is A Description of Early Maps Originals And Facsimiles 1452 1611 Being a Part O book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Although, at this time Sebastian Cabot was in the employ of Spain as pilot major, it appears certain that the map was neither engraved nor printed in Spain. The first map of America printed in that country appeared in a work by Pedro de Medina in the year 1549, and the second in Gomara's History published in the year 1554.
As a record of the Cabot voyages to the New World it does not tell a faithful and true story as we know it from other sources, but the variation is not without much interest.... Newfoundland, for example, is broken up into a group of islands. The record of French explorations in the region of the Gulf and River St. Lawrence is full, including the surveys of Cartier and Roberval. While its details respecting the geography of the Atlantic coast may be found to be far from accurate, the trend of that coast line in general is superior to that found on the majority of other early Spanish maps, such as those of Ribero.
The author of this map clearly drew his information, or much of it from other maps of his day, Spanish and French, but he exer- 17 cised a liberty with his material which exhibits carelessness and want of scholarship.
