What reading level is Some Cairo Mosques And Their Founders book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mausoleum is dated by an inscription (908-1502), and Aly Pasha Moubarak, who had access to the waqf documents concerning the religious buildings of Cairo, gives for the mosque the date of A. H. 927. The courtyard also contains the ruins of a large palace which, being connected with the mausoleum by an arch, is supposed to have belonged to the same Emir. If this supposition 103 SOME CAIRO MOSQUES is correct, as seems very probable, Captain Creswell's 1 historical reasons for dating this pala...ce about A. H. 906 appear to be well founded. The interior appearance of the mausoleum agrees very well with the date given by the inscription ; the style is that of the late fifteenth century mosques, and many details recall the two mosques of Sultan El Ghury, in the Ghuriya.
It is brightly lighted and, to my mind, carries no suggestion of supernatural horrors, but it is said that, for many years after Khairbek's death, the place was supposed to be haunted, and the voice of the dead oppressor of the poor was heard every night groaning and imploring the pardon of Allah for his wickedness.
