What reading level is Illuminated Manuscripts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Besides a great wealth of initial and border decoration, carefully executed in a style similar to that of Richard U's Bible and Missal, it has the margins en- riched with scenes from Scripture, hagiography, and eccle- siastical history, and with many other subjects, including a delightful series of birds inscribed with their English names. Architectural canopies are frequently introduced ; these are mostly of a highly ornate character, and greatly enhance the splendour of the pages.
The same ma...nner appears again, though on a much more modest scale, in a charming miniature of the Annunciation contained in a Book of Hours in the British Museum. 2 The volume, which was executed about the end of the fourteenth century, presumably for a member of the Grandison family, is decorated throughout in the somewhat heavy, uninteresting style of what might be called the " unreformed " English illuminators of the time. But this frontispiece is plainly the work of an artist trained in the school which inspired John Siferwas.
