Summary

Description
English: Representation of Euclid and an astronomer "Hermanus", sometimes believed to be Herman Dalmatin (also called Herman of Carinthia), but more likely to be Hermann of Reichenau (Hermannus Contractur, Hermann der Lahme) according to http://www.jstor.org/stable/24395517

'Two persons seated: "Euclides", on the dexter side, uplifts a sphere with his right hand, and with his left holds a telescope, through which he is observing the stars; toward whom "Hermannus", on the other side, holds forth a circular instrument hanging from his fingers, which is superscribed "Astrolabium".'

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1259, so 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, 1930.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
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.
