Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.

Memorial plate for Johannes Aventinus

Latin text above the image. Note, that originally no distinction between u and v exists, and that there are two forms for the s (see long s) and ligatures for et (compare also the modern &) and -que, in addition ij stands for ii:

Boius Aventinus faciem sic gessit, et ora,
Atque habitu tali conspiciendus erat.
Magnus in historiis scriptor, veterum monumenta
Explicuit: vivet dum vagus orbis erit.

The Bavarian Aventinus looked like that (literally: has worn face and mouth in this way)
and was to be seen in such a habit.
As a great story writer in history, he has explained the works of
the ancestors: He will live as long the earth is wandering.

The Latin text below the image originates from the epitaph of the memorial plate for Johannes Aventinus, located in church St. Emmeram in Regensburg, Germany. See for more in the desciption for that file.
