What reading level is Giotto book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
66 THE ALLEGORIES 67 that very reason not Dante as has sometimes been sup- posed represents the " third order " of S. Francis : most reserved of the three, and fully intelligible only when seen in relation to the curves of the angle from which he climbs, the beauty of his rhythmic motion and of the passionate earnestness of feature, to which Giotto makes it subservient, will be partly realised even in the fore- shortened fragment here reproduced. Behind the angels two warriors of Penitence, arm...ed with scourges, offer a grim contrast to their gentle mien ; and the youth, whom a second pair of angels baptizes with intent devotion near by, has not escaped their corrections. Cleanliness and Bravery stoop to offer him their gifts, but he has no strength to attend them. Two angels more wait beyond, with the same intentness, to clothe him after the rite ; but behind them a second pair of warriors, * still hold- ing scourges, show that the days of penance are not over, though they await the penitent with kindlier aspect, and an angel stands in their company.
