What reading level is Fra Angelico book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At other times the blessed approach paradise over luxuriant meadows strewn with red and white flowers, and under beautiful blooming trees; angels conduct them, and, hand in hand, they lovingly form a circle; the burden of the flesh no longer oppresses them; their heads starred with rays, they glide through the air up to the flaming gate from which a golden illumination issues. Christ, on high, within a triple row of angels pressed together like flowers, smiles upon them beneath his aureole.
[74...] FRA A NGELICO 33 Fra Angelico's personages are worthy of their situation. Although beau- tiful and ideal, his Christ, even in celestial triumph, is pale, pensive, and slightly emaciated; he is the eternal friend, the somewhat melancholy consoler of the 'Imitation of Christ, ' the poetic, merciful Lord which the saddened heart imagines, and not the over healthy figure of the Renaissance painters. At the day of judgment he does not condemn; his countenance is turned toward the blessed, toward those whom he loves.
