What reading level is Madrid An Historical Description And Handbook of the Spanish Capital book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A curious feature of the next suit, also made in Navarre, is the seven indentations made by the buUets of an arquebus. Each is set with stones. These marks were intended to attest the thickness of the steel, but they do rather the contrary, for the backplate has been completely perforated. We are reminded of Don Quixote's attempts to satisfy himself of the tough- ness of his helmet.
At A. 13-20 are shown six charming little suits made for the boy princes, Philip, Ferdinand, and Charles. They ar...e composed of closed helmets, gorgets, cuirasses, and the usual arm-guards. The surface is blued and divided diagonally by foliations between which appear the emblems of Spain and the Golden Fleece.
The suit made for the Infante Baltasar Carlos 100 MADRID (1629-1646) is little more than a costly toy, and preserves its gilding and blackening unimpaired. The suits A. 369 and A. 394 are historically in- teresting, as having been worn in the field by Prince Emmanuele Filiberto of Savoy, the victor of St Quentin, and Don Juan Jose, natural son of Philip IV.
