What reading level is The Story of Llandaff Cathedral book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Teilo's lann took its name from its river, the Taff ; its site had already been used for pre-Christian burials of uncertain type, discovered some years ago under the western part of the present church. Its influence is reflected in ancient charters preserved in the twelfth-century " Book of Llandaff. " Of these charters some are clearly false, but parts of them seem to be of great antiquity. In them we catch glimpses of Teilo's men and their successors receiving willing gifts from their convert...s or forcing barbarous chieftains to repent of vile crimes and make handsome grants in reparation to the mother church.
Teilo was succeeded by his nephew, St. Oudocui. Thereafter much is dark, and the accepted list of bishops contains evident mistakes. One clear glimpse we receive, about the beginning of the ninth century, in deeds inscribed in the margins of the so-called " Gospels of St. Chad, " a precious volume written about 700 A. D. The book has been at Lichfield since about 970, but about the year 800 it was bought for a " best horse " by one Gelhi, son of Arihtiud, and given to Llandaff".
