What reading level is Italian book Illustrations Chiefly of the Fifteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the upper part of the cut St. Augustine is shown writing at a desk, uncomfortably attired in his full episcopal robes. In the lower half are battlements representing the cities of heaven and hell, and in the two corners Abel and Cain are seated, the one with his shepherd's crook and sheep, the other with some kind of mattock, as further representatives of the opposition of good and evil. The cutting is rather flat, but as the picture is not overcrowded the general effect is pleasing enough.
...Of the illustrated books bearing in their colophons the date 1490, the edition of Malermi's Italian translation of the Bible is generally regarded as the most important. It was printed by Giovanni Ragazzo, at the expense of Lucantonio Giunta, and is profusely illustrated, according to Dr. Lippmann, with no less than three hundred and eighty-three* vignettes, though these include some repetitions. The Cologne Bible of 1480 was still regarded as a masterpiece of biblical illustration, and it is thus not surprising to find that most of its hundred and ten cuts furnished suggestions for the pictures in the Italian version, though the new artist not only reduced their size, but freely altered their designs.
