What reading level is Portraits of Columbus a Monograph book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Who will believe that Giovio was more anxious to obtain a truthful presentment of a Turk than of a countryman, of the conqueror of an old city than of the discov erer of the New World ? whom he himself styled " Stupendi alterius et nulli ante saeculo cognita terrarum orbis repertor, incom- pardbilis Liguribus honos, factus mortalium celeberrimus" etc.
The wood cut, which has been already alluded to, was published at Basel, in 1578, to illustrate a eulogy on Columbus that had been written by Gio...vio. According to its editor, Perna, that wood cut was derived from a portrait in the Giovian Museum, which had been painted from life. His words are these: "I have at much expense employed an eminent artist to engrave the Giovian portraits painted from life " and, so far as appears, no others than those painted from life. His language as quoted by Carderera is: Ho mandado dibujar con mucho dispendio a un sobre- saliente artista los retratos pintados al vivo (ad vivum), que decora- ban el Museo de Giovio.
