What reading level is The Cathedrals of Northern France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is divided into two bays that Join beneath a dais, on which is a statue of Ber- trand de Goth, who was Pope in 1305, under the name of Clement V. He is here clothed in sacerdotal habits, and stands upright in the attitude of benediction.
At the lower right-hand side are statues of six bishops, but, like that of Pope Clement, they do not form a part of the constructive elements of the portal, as did most work of a like nature in the twelfth and thirteenth cen- turies, but are made use of sing...ly as a dec- orative motive.
The spring of the arch which surrounds the tympanum is composed of a cordon of foliaged stone separating the six angels of the premiere archivolte from the twelve apostles of the second, and the fourteen patriarchs and prophets of the third.
In the tympanum are three bas-reliefs su- 398 The Cathedrals of Southern France pcrimposed one upon the other, the upper being naturally the smaller. They represent the Christ triumphant, seated on a dais be- tween two angels, one bearing a staff and the other a veil, while above hover two other angelic figures holding respectively the moon and sun.
