What reading level is Moslem Architecture; Its Origins And Development book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of late a careful restoration of the building has been in progress.^ The mosque of Ibn Tulun which, through all its vicissitudes, has undergone no essential change, is a rectangle of 140 by 116 m. (about 460 by 382 ft.), enclosed on three sides by double circuit walls, the space between which forms outer courts (Fig. 119, p. 142). The inner wall, strengthened on the outside by buttresses at the corners, is lined on three sides by double arcades with piers.
The fourth or southern side, the place... of prayer, has five rows of similar supports forming five bays in depth and seventeen in length, the central one leading to the mihrab. The outermost of these rows fell in 1877 (Figs.
120, 121, pp. 141, 142). The range facing on to the court has now dis- appeared, and only four of the original rows of piers remain.
The building was not a direct copy of the mosque of Samarra in Mesopotamia, as has been asserted.- As a matter of fact, the mosque of Samarra, erected by the Abbasid caliph, Mutawakkil (847-861), to replace a former one built by Mutasim (833-842), and still existing in the shape of extensive ruins, possesses only one enclosure wall of 220 by 168 m.
