What reading level is Annals of the Early Caliphate, From Original Sources book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Service in the field was desultory and intermittent. The intervals of rest were spent in ennui.
Excepting when enlivened by the fruits of some new victory, the secluded harems afforded their lords but little variety of recreation or amusement. Otherwise the time was whiled away in the converse of social knots ; and in these, while they discussed the problems of the day, they loved still more to live in the past, and fight their battles over again.
Hence tradition. But the debates and gossip of ...these clubs (to which we owe the two great schools of Bussorah and Kufa) too often degenerated into tribal rivalry and domestic scandal.
The people became petulant and factious ; and both cities grew into hotbeds of turbulence and sedition. The Bedouin element, conscious of its strength, was jealous of the Coreish, and impatient at whatever checked its capricious humom-.
Thus factions sprang up which, controlled by the strong and wise arm of Omar, broke loose under weaker Caliphs, eventually rent the unity of Islam, and brought on disastrous days, which, but for its marvellous vitality, must have proved fatal to the Faith.
