What reading level is Constantinople volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under the Ottomans the former became Yali Kiosk Kapou, and the latter Balouk Khaneh Kapou. Between the two, for protection on the western or landward side, was built the irregular crenellated wall of stone, with square project- ing towers, which remains in almost perfect preservation. Despite the great authority of Paspatis, who believed that this western wall was constructed by Michael VIII in 1261, on the restoration of the Byzantine Empire, I judge it the creation of Mohammed the Conqueror. ...The Byzan- tine emperors in the thirteenth century had no possible motive for its erection, and it is of Ottoman rather than of Byzantine workmanship.
During fifteen years after the Conquest, Sultan Mo- hammed continued to inhabit the enormous palace which he reared on the site of the Theodosian Forum and of the Capitolium, and around which he enclosed an ample THE SERAGLIO 709 domain nearly two miles in circuit. Not till 1468 did the charms of this spot attract his eye. Then he com- menced the erection of a palace, where, with a portion of his household, he passed the summer months.
