The text and images appearing in these Bodleian Library or Oxford Digital Library (ODL) pages are copyright and their use is restricted by law.

Copying of images for personal use only

You may view or download the image to your workstation and store it, and you may make one hard copy without payment or further permission, provided this is done for purposes of private study only.

You must include the copyright notice and Bodleian reference (shelfmark and page or folio number) as found below each image in the copy you make, whether in electronic or other form.

You may also display the single personal copy for purposes of an academic lecture or seminar, provided that no further duplication occurs or is allowed to occur.

You may not duplicate the image in any medium for another person or institution.

You may incorporate the URL for an image, but not the image itself, in your personal hypertext document. The purpose of this restriction is to preserve the integrity of the image by ensuring that image files are always downloaded direct from the Oxford University server.
