<p class="MsoNormal">I seem to remember this as one of the unusual signature patterns of the manuscript period. The term that comes to mind is "continuous bifolia numeration." There is no quire signature but the bifolia are numbered continuously from beginning
to end. It was not a common practice. I don't remember if any printers used it. Sorry I don't have any references I can quote.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Another question for the advance bibliographers amongst us...<br>
<br>
I have in my hand the French translation of Hystoyre et plaisante cronicque. It is printed in 1793/4 (an II) in Paris. It is signed in such a way that I'm at a loss on how to record it.<br>
<br>
It starts off innocently enough: pi^4 but then this happens (and this is a page-by page recreation):<br>
1,2,3, [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned], 4, 5,6, [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned], 7,8,9, [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned], 10, 11, 12, [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned] ... 49, 50, 51 [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned], 52, [unsigned].<br>
<br>
Is there a way to capture this in a signature statement or do I just include the whole thing? Bowers is failing me.<br>
<br>
Chain lines run vertical. My uncut copy is 14 cm high.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
