What reading level is The History of Medieval Europe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By the thirteenth century at least Venetian traders were found well-nigh all over the known world. They made com- Venetian mercial treaties with the sultans of Iconium and commerce Aleppo and with the Christian rulers of Little Armenia and Trebizond. In 1255 a traveler found at Ico- nium a Venetian and a Genoese in partnership; they had obtained from the sultan a monopoly of the alum trade and had more than tripled the price in consequence. Such enter- prising traders were found from Damascus t...o Kiev and from the Crimea to the Caucasus. The Polo brothers even visited China. Venetians, however, not merely spread over the world in search of trade ; so far as they could they forced trade to flow through Venice, which thus took a profit from goods both coming and going. Venice had early monopo- lized the distribution of salt in her immediate neighborhood, THE ITALIAN CITIES 345 and she largely controlled the fur trade and grain trade and slave trade by way of the Black Sea. In pursuance of her steadfast policy to center all trade in Venice and to bring as many goods there as possible, she would not allow foreign vessels to cross directly between the east and the west shores of the Adriatic, but forced them to go by way of Venice and unload at least two thirds of their cargoes there.
