What reading level is Architecture, Classic And Early Christian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By degrees the proportions of the shaft grew more slender, and the profile of the capital more elegant and less bold, till the perfected per- fections of the Greek Doric column were attained. This column is the original to which all columns with moulded capitals tliat have been used in architecture, from the age of Pericles to our own, may be directly or indirectly referred; while the Egyptian types wliich the Greeks did not select — such, for example, as the lotus-columns at Karnak — have neve...r been peipetuated.
A different temper or taste, an 1 partly a different history, led to the selection of the "West Asiatic types of column by a section of the Greek people; but great alterations in projDortion, in the treatment of the capital, and in the mana"ement of the moulded base from which the columns sprang, were made, even in the orders which occur in the Ionic buildings of Asia Minor. This Avas carried further when the Ionic order was made use of in Athens herself, and as a result the Attic base and the perfected Ionic capital are to be found at their best in the Erechtheium example.
