Remarks in the Khabouris manuscript margin

[SteveCaruso]

Actually, the content and photographs of the Khabouris Manuscript under US and UK Copyright laws are in the Public Domain due to the text's age. One cannot legally claim copyright to them (as per Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. 1999) as it'd be like claiming copyright on the Statue of David or the Eiffel Tower. "Better lighting" or "enhanced imaging" of this sort doesn't count, as Frederick Warne Co. tried that with "retouching" and "restoring" the original images to The Tale of Peter Rabbit and then trying to claim copyright on the restoration. Their claim was thrown out of court as immaterial due to the fact that despite all of their enhancements that the core material remained the same. Any claims to the contrary are dubious.

This in mind, I'd love to see an image alongside a transcription of the colophon. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/wink1.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s -->
