As you said, mine implies no conjugacy between *T1 and chi1. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Assuming this is an octavo, is there any evidence that the cancellantia are not simply a half sheet? In any case, because of the way they are quired, those
four leaves constitute a normal 4-leaf gathering inserted as a substitute for T1.What you have is T<sup>8</sup>(-T1 + *T<sup>4</sup>); the leaves of the whole resulting affair are referred to as T(*T1), T(*T2), T(*T3), T(*T4), T2, T3 etc.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">If the second cancellans leaf is signed 'T2', without the asterisk, that should be noted as an irregularity in the typography of
the signatures ("signing T(*T2) as 'T2'"), but its "name" for reference purposes derives from the signature that identifies the four leaves collectively, '*T'. Note that your suggested notation would describe two singleton leaves flanking a bifolium.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the printing when you refer to his page numbers.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I hope someone has some enlightenment on this puzzle. I have a book where leaf T1 has been cancelled and replaced by 4 leaves. The cancellans T1 is conjugate with leaf 4 of the
group, and there’s another bifolium inserted between them, the first leaf of which is signed T2. There are two T2’s in the gathering, the one following cancellans T1 and the original T2 following all four inserted leaves. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I was taught at Rare Book School to follow Fredson Bowers’ notation, and I’ve been trying to figure out how to do it in this case. I’m stumped after looking over pages 243-49 for
quite awhile (that’s 5<sup>th</sup> printing, 1998). Essentially, this is a leaf replaced by a fold, within which another fold has been inserted. Page 249 comes close to telling me what to do, but I’m just not sure I have it right. This is my tentative idea:
T<span style="font-family:"Cambria Math","serif"">⁸</span> (-T1+*T,'T2'.1,chi1). The cancellans T1 is signed ‘*T’. I didn’t use the simultaneous plus and minus sign because, as Bowers says, this isn’t the replacement of one leaf with another leaf or of one
fold with another fold. <o:p></o:p></p>
