What reading level is The Discovery of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Evidently a letter dated June 25, 1474, could not have been written before the civil wars of Castile, which be- gan in 1465. It was therefore assumed that the phrase must refer to the " War of Succession " between Castile and Portug^ (in some ways an outgrowth from the civil wars of Castile) which beg^n in May, 1475, and ended in September, 1479. M. d'Avezao thinks that the letter to Columbus must have been written after the latter date, or more than five years later than the enclosed letter. M.... Harrisse is somewhat less exacting, and is willing to admit that it may have been written at any time after this war had fairly begun, — say in the sunmier of 1475, not more than a year or so later than the enclosed letter. Still he is disposed on some accounts to put the date as late as 1482. The phrase cU- quanti giomifa will not allow either of these interpretations. It means " a few d^ys ago," and cannot possibly mean a year ago, still less five years ago. The Spanish retranslator from UUoa Digitized by Google THE SEARCH FOR THE INDIES.
