What reading level is Aspects of the Hebrew Genius a volume of Essays On Jewish Literature And Though book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the most important one of those three was, as I have said, the Halachoth Gedoloth. For a few hundred years it remained the standard work. Of a systematic codifying of the laws there is no sign yet. As long as the Geonim existed, the necessity for it was not felt so strongly. They were the judges and deciders. All the Jewish com- munities in Asia, North Africa, and Spain turned to them with questions. It is interesting to observe that their advice was sought not only in religious and legal m...atters, but also in historic and linguistic difficulties. The most famous questions are those asked by the community of Kairuan in North Africa. The most famous answer, or collection of answers, is the epistle of R. Sherira Gaon, that wonderful document which has become the main source for our knowledge of the history of that time.
But the Geonim, too, soon ceased. The once famous academies in Babylonia fell into decay, and causes from within and from without brought about the decline of Jewish learning in the land of the two rivers.
