What reading level is The Cathedrals of Northern France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
365, under Valentinian I. , a church was founded at the eastern extremity of the city in honour of St Stephen, and a bishop's stool deposited therein.
This earliest church was situated to the south of the site occupied by the present building.. Placed in a city ever rich, populous, and greedy of novelty, this basilica for such one would imagine it to have been was deemed inadequate when Clovis raised Paris to the dignity of a capital of a Christian kingdom.
In the middle of the sixth century, C...lovis' successor, yielding to the entreaties of St Germain, caused a second cathedral to be constructed, a little to the north of St Stephen's. This he dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. Venantius Fortunatus, 1 the courtly poet-bishop of Poitiers, has left a pompous, but it is to be feared somewhat apocryphal, account of this structure, which, in his religious enthusiasm, he compares with Solomon's Temple in point of splendour. For a long time Childebert's Notre Dame shared cathedral dignity with that of St Etienne.
