[edit] Maciejowski Image - not in public domain

Image:MaciejowskiBibleManoahAndWife.jpg

Hi Chris. I don't believe that this image is in the public domain. It's either taken from the original manuscript, in which case it is "Copyright © 2000-2004 Medieval Tymes, All Rights Reserved.", or it's a scan from a printing that's copyright Pierpont Morgan Library, of no earlier than 1927, and so not out of copyright. Either way, it's not public domain, although it may be arguable as fair use. Rogerborg 13:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I am not a copyright expert. As I understand, the original bible is from ~1250, hence out of copyright. A facsimile was published in 1927. The (legal) question is, if the facsimile is identical with the original images (hence no copyright), or if artistic value has been added. A reprint of an out-of-copyright document also has no copyright. As for now, I see the image still as public domain. For requests to remove the image refer to Wikipedia:Copyright problems -- Chris 73 | Talk 14:28, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I have listed the problem at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2006 March 21, please feel free to add your comments there. If the image is indeed not a copy of an image from the 13th century, then it has to be removed. -- Chris 73 | Talk 14:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
