Description

A page from the Wenzel Bible

From the caption:

Printed by the Bibliographisches Institut, Leipzig.

A PAGE FROM THE "WENZEL BIBLE".

From the Manuscript (c. 1400) in the Imperial Library at Vienna.

The passage is described there as being from the Book of Moses, ch. IV., v.4–15. Since that is not the common name in English of any book of the Bible (and in 1400 this is clearly not the Mormon text of that name), I would guess Exodus. Someone who can deal better than I with medieval German in Gothic script may have a better chance of working this out.

Under United States copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright work may not be protected under U.S.copyright law. This photograph was taken in the U.S. or in another country where a similar rule applies (for a list of allowable countries, see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag#Country-specific rules).
This photographic reproduction is therefore also in the public domain.

This media file needs to be cleaned up, because: Could use some work. Middle of the scan is more dark than the rest, and somewhat distorted; it is also lower quality. (Trying to scan from a book without breaking the book). There are also various small stains.
For help, see Commons:Media for cleanup.
