Permission
(Reusing this file)
Bifield's date of death is not known, but he was replaced as vicar of Holy Trinity in 1610, and though he may conceivably have died far later the copyright on any of his works have long since expired all over the world. In addition, Bifield only signed this register which was transcribed by a scribe from the original in use in 1580, so it is doubtful any copyright accrues to him, or to the transcriber. The vicar of Holy Trinity on 3 May 1580 is unknown, but his copyright is equally long since expired.

Licensing[edit]

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 1610, 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, 1929.

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.
