What reading level is Gregory the Great book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
homily, he thus speaks : " Let no man blame me if henceforth I speak to you no more ; for, as you all see, our tribulations have increased, we are every- where surrounded by perils, everywhere is imminent danger of death : some return to us with their hands lopped off, others are reported to us as captured or slain. Now am I forced to refrain my tongue from exposition, for * my soul is weary of life. ' Let no one require of me now the study of sacred eloquence, for ' my harp is tuned to mournin...g, and my organ into the voice of them that weep ' ; * for the voice of my groaning I forget to eat my bread. ' " Such was Gre- gory's tone in the pulpit at this time. But it shows /us only one side of the man. Most men who, at such a time, could thus feel and preach would have given themselves up only to resignation and prayer. Not so Gregory. He was constantly and efficiently active all the time in mitigating, as he could, the sur- rounding evils. He negotiated with the Lombard king, who was at length prevailed upon to conclude a special treaty of peace with himself, or a general one with the exarch, should the latter be willing to Lcome to terms.
