What reading level is Perugino book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have already alluded to the acceptance by the master in 1499 of this commission, for which he had re- fused the decoration of Orvieto Duomo. The actual space offered him to decorate by the Perugian bankers in their Sala del Cambio was not very great, but the result was a thing of perfect beauty "a little gem" (I called it in my notes written at Perugia, and published some years ago) "of decorative Renaissance art. It is a small room, panelled with the loveliest tarsia work (this too from Vann...ucci's design), and above these panels the master's PIETRO PERUGINO 55 frescoes. The * Nativity' and 'Transfiguration' at the end of the room are among his finest, ripest works, and on each side are the Prophets and Sibyls, or heroes, kings, and sages of an- tiquity Leonidas the Spartan, Trajan the wise Roman emperor, Fabius 'Cunctator, ' Socrates, Horatius, who kept the bridge, and the Roman Camillus. " It is most probable that the whole scheme of decoration, and of these classic sages and heroes in particular, with their guiding virtues above, was supplied to the artist by the huma- nist Maturanzio, Secretary to the "Priori" of Perugia, and acting under their orders ; while Maturanzio himself may have drawn his inspiration from a MS.
