What reading level is The Conversion of Armenia to the Christian Faith book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the usurper Ervand II was defeated and slain in his own palace by Artashes II, the only surviving son of Sanatrouk (A. D. 85), better times at first seemed to have dawned on the Church. Artashes rebuilt Artashat (Artaxata) and made it his capital. Soon after his accession the country was invaded by the Alans and other Caucasian tribes. Artashes defeated them and took their king's son captive. Another more formidable incursion was soon after made by the Alans, in alliance with the Georgians... and other neighbouring tribes. The armies met on the banks of the river Kour, the invaders having taken up a position on the left bank and the Armenian forces on the right. A romantic incident then took place, which has been celebrated by Armenian poets and historians. The Alans had demanded the restoration to liberty of their king's son. But this had been refused. Nothing seemed to remain but to appeal to the ordeal of battle, when the captive prince's sister, Sathinik, advanced to the further bank of the river and asked permission to converse with Artashes through an interpreter.
