Deutsch: Rudolfsgrab. Liegefiguren Rudolfs IV. des Stifters und seiner Gemahlin Katharina von Böhmen. Darstellung der Universitätsprofessoren in den Nischen (Figuren seit ca. 1800 verschollen). Inschriften im Dom betreffend Rudolf d. Stifters.
English: The decipherment of the epitaph from before 1365 upon the cenotaph, or symbolic tomb, of Duke Rudolph IV of Austria ("the Founder") in the Stephansdom in Vienna. The translation of the secret writing into English is "This is the sepulcure of Rudolph, by the grace of God, Duke and Founder" and "Almighty God and great lord Jesus Christ, a shepherd." Rudolf was never, in fact, buried within the almost-solid stone structure, but in the Ducal Crypt elsewhere in the cathedral.
The code used is the Alphabetum Kaldeorum, a cipher he probably invented.

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 domainPublic domainfalsefalse
Dette verket er offentlig eiendom i Norge, EU og land der den opphavsrettslige vernetiden etter opphavsmannens død er 70 år eller kortere. Merk at noen land har lengre vernetid.
For å kunne lagres på Commons må verket både være offentlig eiendom i USA og i opphavslandet. Vernetiden kan i noen tilfeller være lengre enn 80 år i USA, så i tillegg til dette merket trengs det et eget merke som forklarer hvorfor verket er offentlig eiendom (public domain) i USA. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
