Summary
[edit]DescriptionKircher Obeliscus Pamphilius page 444.jpg |
English: Page 444 of Obeliscus Pamphilius (1650) by Athanasius Kircher. The illustration on the right depicts the upper section of the southern face of the Agonale Obelisk, also known as the Pamphilian Obelisk, in Rome. The left column is Kircher's fanciful translation, in Latin, of each figure. Kircher was unable to distinguish between illustrations, as on the pyramidion, and hieroglyphic text, and he thus attempted to translate both. The headings for the two columns on the page were reversed by a printing error. (Source: Daniel Stolzenberg, Egyptian Oedipus, pp. 200–203.) |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
