What reading level is Erasmus And the Age of Reformation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is especially the Dominicans and the Carmeliteswho are ill-affected towards the new scientific theology. Just then anew adversary had arisen at Louvain in the person of his compatriotNicholas of Egmond, prior of the Carmelites, henceforth an object ofparticular abhorrence to him. It is remarkable that at Louvain Erasmusfound his fiercest opponents in some compatriots, in the narrower senseof the word: Vincent Dirks of Haarlem, William of Vianen, Ruurd Tapper. The persecution increases: the v...enom of slander spreads more and moreevery day and becomes more deadly; the greatest untruths are impudentlypreached about him; he calls in the help of Ath, the vice-chancellor, against them. But it is no use; the hidden enemies laugh; let him writefor the erudite, who are few; we shall bark to stir up the people. After1520 he writes again and again: 'I am stoned every day'.
But Erasmus, however much he might see himself, not without reason, atthe centre, could, in 1519 and 1520, no longer be blind to the fact thatthe great struggle did not concern him alone.
