What reading level is The Makers of Florence: Dante, Giotto, Savonarola: And Their City 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nothing could be more natural than that his good sense should have seen its vanity ; but yet, as he had already suggested other miraculous ex- periments, it is almost impossible to believe that this was his sole reason. Perhaps he considered the question already settled by that appeal to Gk>d in the Piazza of San 0AVONABOLA. I93 Marco ; perhaps he perceived the falseness of the proposal altogether ; but in any case his repugnance to the ordeal is remarkable.
Everything he himself says on the su...bject, and everything his biographer says, is per* fectly reasonable. When he tells us that he has too many great works in hand to lose his time in such miserable contests; when he bids his enemies first answer his argtmients in respect to the excommunica* tion, and that then it will be time enough to prove its justice by fire ; we agree with every word, and feel something of the in* dignant impatience which might very nat- urally move him. But all that he says in respect to the Franciscan challenge applies equally well to his own ; and the difference between entering the fire with one of his adversaries, and waiting in the piazza under the sky in hopes that God would strike the false preacher with fire from heaven, is very slight.
