What reading level is Books of Secrets a Paper Read Before the Bibliographical Society April 21 191 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The books of receipts for arts and manufactures are in great numbers. Some of them are general and contain directions for all kinds of practical purposes, while others take up one topic only but with fuller detail.
Amongst the general collections, there is one of the sixteenth century which is too conspicuous to be passed over. It is that which goes by the name of Alexis, or Alessio, of Piedmont. ' It presents problems as to its origin and history, it went through quite a number of editions a...nd trans- lations and in its final form contained a great deal of matter. It was the model which subsequent compilers followed and was a reservoir of information which could be drawn on if required, so that in a way the hook is one of the classics of the subject. It is a remarkable gathering, for though it is not devoid of many singular notions, disagreeable remedies, superstitious beliefs, all the more does it throw light on the state of knowledge and skill at the time, the demand there was for information and guidance, and the practical methods which must have been current, and of which, it is likely, only samples found a place in the book.
