An antique I just purchased. It is a page from a handwritten bible from 1480 (yes, 541 years old). It is in latin, with ornate capitals, and amazingly the red is still very vibrant and the gold gilding on the Q very much in tact.
For those interested it is the Book of Hours psalms.
I decided to take some extremely high resolution scans before sealing it in some acrylic and prepare it to be framed. Will put it on my wall tomorrow.

It may already be listed- but I was going to suggest volunteering this for https://librivox.org/ since it easily falls under 'public domain' (eg pre 1923 copyright).
