Book of Hours[edit]

Two facing pages from a Book of Hours in the Biblioteca Trivulziana in Milan (Cod. 470)

Although this is not the most fanous Book of Hours (that would be the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, I like this image because it gives the viewer a much better feel of the "bookness" of an illuminated manuscript. Too often pages are reproduced in isolation as if they were painted on canvas and hung on a wall. This is used in Book of Hours (Milan, Biblioteca Trivulziana, Cod. 470). I scanned the image from, Illuminated Manuscripts: The Book before Gutenberg by Giulia Bologna, and uploaded it. - Dsmdgold 02:13, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

  • Nominate and support. - Dsmdgold 02:13, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Very reluctant oppose. I don't think {{PD-art}} applies. The additional pages keep this from being strictly a reproduction of a two-dimensional work. See Bridgeman Art Library Ltd. v. Corel Corporation. —Korath (Talk) 04:48, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Conditional support if the tag can be agreed as appropriate. Circeus 23:31, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • reluctant oppose. Unfortunately I agree with Korath. Its may be a grey area between 2D and 3D, but the inclusion of a frame in a photograph of 2D painting is considered a problem and this situation is similar (more accurately, I suspect that the inclusion of 3D elements in the photo makes the Bridgeman Art ruling less applicable, although it probably hasn't been tested in a court case). We could try nominating Image:Les Tres Riches Heurs F2r.jpg instead, but I'm not convinced there is sufficient quality in that scan. -- Solipsist 07:38, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • After some consideration, I'm afraid I agree with Korath also. I'm going to switch the tag to {{fairuse}} and am withdrawing this nomination. I also don't think that Image:Les Tres Riches Heurs F2r.jpg is a good enough scan to be featured. Dsmdgold 13:33, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
