What reading level is The Normans in Sicily Being a Sequel to An Architectural Tour in Normandy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The outer arch of the a Vide Plates vi. And vir.
MESSINA. 121 centre door rests on two small columns recessed in the Norman manner, but diminishing upwards, and having Corinthian capitals. The inner arch rests on two pilasters which, also, have Corin- thian capitals. These pilasters are enriched above with a Greek pattern, and below with Arabic characters, inlaid in porphyry. The arch itself is plain, with two sinkings, and a single bed mould, enriched with an acanthus scroll.
The side doors di...ffer from the centre, as then- arches rest on decorated imposts, supported by Corinthian pilasters, the abacus of the one being enriched with the egg and tongue pattern, and of the other, with animals representing a boar hunt. In addition to this, each door has an archivolt, or label, supported on brackets; the whole enriched with Greek ornaments.
Within the church, are four pillars, of a single shaft, with corrupt Corinthian capitals. These pillars evidently supported a central dome, but the whole of the upper part, and, indeed, of the G 122 MESSINA.
