What reading level is A History of Architecture in Italy From the Time of Constantine to the Dawn of T book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The dome, therefore, remains nearly a square in plan at the base, with a gradual approach to a hemispheric form towards the crown. It is surmounted by a small lantern. The treatment of the wall which encloses the dome is not less singular than the dome itself. Square within, it assumes on the exterior, by the thickening of each side towards the centre, the form of an octagon with equal sides, but very unequal angles. Each side is pierced by a small round-headed window, and the wall is finished ...with a series of deep romid-arched recesses sug- gestive of a rudimentary eaves gallery. The lower wall has flat buttresses of slight projection at the meeting points of the four apses, between which the circular wall surfaces are divided by pilas- ter strips ending in a series of arched recesses similar to those above, but smaller.
166 ARCHITECTURE IN ITALY The Biella baptistery (Fig. 105) dates from about 850. That of Galliano (Fig. 106) is presumably of about the same age. But along with a general resemblance in ground plan the two present in the matter of construction very striking differences.
