•  Info created by anonymous - uploaded by Claritas - nominated by Claritas -- Claritas (talk) 20:24, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
•  Support -- please note that the dimensions of the original (when the crop is taken into account) are only 9 x 8.5 cm, so the resolution is not reflected by the image size. Claritas (talk) 20:24, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Good reproduction with historic and educational value. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 22:34, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- It is a beautiful manuscript. But nothing here seems to justify the FP status, either historically or aesthetically. I suspect that there are some other illuminated documents with exceptional historical relevance and/or beauty that could be brought here. On a side note, this reproduction looses much of its documental value without an explanation of its content. Yes, there are a few users here who can read Latin, but they are still a samll minority...

I would suggest that it is of exceptional beauty - "wonderful examples of their particular type or school of art" are allowed irrespective of their notability (and I freely admit that Boise State MSS 122 is not a notable manuscript). If you'd like an illuminated document of exceptional historical relevance, please see Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Henry V.jpeg.

I can read Latin, and I will provide a full translation with textual context in a day or two. --Claritas (talk) 16:40, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
