Summary
| Description |
English: A cropped image of "I syng of a mayden", a 15th Century Middle English poem which forms part of the famous Sloane Manuscript (BL MS. 2593), held in the British Library. Digitised by the British Library, the 2D manuscript itself is in the public domain by virtue of its age, and this image has been cropped to remove any 3D elements of the original higher resolution photograph. As this manuscript is held within the British Library and due to its age and fragility is unlikely to be released for public photography, this low resolution image is felt to be a fair 2D representation of a historic, one-off manuscript for the purposes of criticism of the text by the not-for-profit Wikimedia Foundation, in the same manner as other historic single 2D artefacts such as File:Ellesmere Manuscript Knight Portrait.jpg. |
| Date | between circa 1400 and circa 1500 |
