What reading level is The Rose of the Winds the Origin And Development of the Compass Card book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus the chronicler Nargis, who sailed in the Crusade of St. Louis against Tunis in 1270, tells how the king, being anxious after a storm to know where they were, was shown by the captain the position of the ship on a chart. Vasco da Gama mentions, with some surprise, that the pilot whom he engaged at Malinda to take him to India, in 1498, had a map of India e without compass lines '.
The question has been debated whether in these loxodromic charts the lines were laid down first, and the coast ...lines then drawn in over them ; or whether the map was first drawn, and the loxodromic lines added afterwards. Nordenskjold maintains that the lines were drawn over the chart ; Theobald Fischer that the chart was drawn over the lines. Kretschmer cites the case of the Atlas of Vesconte de Maiollo, of 1548, now in Florence, having fifteen charts, of which one is unfinished, the lines being drawn, but no map. It must not, how- ever, be concluded that for all charts the lines were drawn first. 1 1 Blundevile, in his Exercises (1594), gives a blank chart, covered with loxo- 16 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BRITISH ACADEMY The writer after examining many of the original charts in the museums of London, Paris, Florence, Milan, &c.
