What reading level is Glossary of Ecclesiastical Ornament And Costume, Compiled From Ancient Authorities And Examples book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thomas of Canterbury, preserved at Sens, is annually worn during mass, on his festival. The present reduced and stiff chasubles have not been introduced by any authority; they have gradually degenerated from the ample and mystical form, partly through the neglect of ecclesiastical solemnity, partly through the ignorance or interest of those to whom their mannfacture has been intrusted in latter times, and partly from the use of heavy and stiff stuffs, which rendered the old form exceedingly inc...onvenient. The change has been lamented by every learned Churchman who has written on the subject, as destructive not only of dignity, but of all those mystical significations attributed to this vestment.f If it be asked, why the pointed form should now be received in preference to the circular, it may be readily answered, that while the chasuble was round it was not an exclusively ecclesiastical vestment ; but that no sooner was it restricted to the use of those who ministered at the altar, than it received the same fish shape which, with trifling modifications, it retained till the general decay of ecclesiastical art.
