What reading level is The Construction of Lombard And Gothic Vaults book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
V A STUDY of the process of construction throws an equal light on the early rib vaults of Lombardy. It was in Lombardy that this type of vault originated, and when the method of construction which we have learned from a study of the French vaults is borne in mind, it is easy to trace the various steps in the evolu- tion of this motive, so significant for the history of medieval art. The Lombard monuments will also furnish the clearest sort of proof that the rib vault originated in the desire to... economize centering, and was ever employed with this single end in view.
Whereas in France during the Carlovingian and Romanesque periods there had been only one method employed for constructing vaults, that of solid center- ing, in Lombardy on the other hand, from the VI century to the XIII, there existed side by side two traditions: the Byzantine, by which domed groin vaults, usually with wall and transverse ribs, were constructed on a light centering; and the Latin, by which undomed groin vaults, barrel vaults and cupolas were erected with the aid of a complete centering.
