What reading level is The Mediterranean, Its Storied Cities And Venerable Ruins book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Modem criticism ruthlessly releo^ates the work to a nameless but considerably later Byzantine sculptor.
NOTRE DAME DE LA GARDE 117 By far the most interesting ecclesiastical edifice in . Marseilles, however, even in its present charred and shat- tered condition, is the ancient pilgrimage chapel of Notre Dame de la Garde, the antique High Place of primitive Phoenician and Ligurian worship. How long a shrine for some local cult has existed on the spot it would be hard to say, but, at least, we ma...y put it at two dozen centuries. All along the Mediterranean coast, in fact, one feels oneself everywhere thus closely in almost con- tinuous contact with the earliest religious beliefs of the people. The paths that lead to these very antique sacred sites, crowning the wind-swept hills that overlook the valley, are uniformly worn deep by naked footsteps into the solid rock — a living record of countless generations of fervent worshipers. Christianity itself is not nearly old enough to account for all those profoundly-cut steps in the schistose slate or hard white limestone of the Pro- vencal hills.
