What reading level is Solomon Maimon An Autobiography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mysteries of religion are objects and acts, which are adapted to ideas and principles, and the inner meaning of which is of great importance, but which have in their outward form something unseemly or ridiculous or other- wise objectionable. They must therefore, even in regard to their outward form, be kept concealed from the vul- gar eye, which cannot penetrate into the inner meaning of anything ; and accordingly for it they must be a double mystery. That is to say, the objects or acts themsel...ves constitute the lesser mysteries, and their inner meaning the greater mysteries.
Of this sort, for example, among the Jews, in the taber- nacle, and afterwards in the Holy of Holies in the temple, was the ark of the covenant, which, according to the tes- An Autobiography. I8i timony of renowned authors, showed much resemblance to the sacred chest in the innermost shrine of some heathen temples. Thus we find among the Egyptians the casket of Apis, that concealed from the vulgar eye this dead animal, which as a symbol indeed had an im- portant meaning, but in itself presented a repulsive as- pect.
