<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Good afternoon, <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on cataloging a copy of Nicolas Clénard's 'Meditationes Graecanicae in artem grammaticam' printed by Sebastianus Gryphius in 1552 and would like some advice on the signature statement. The format is 8vo, but the first 8 gatherings
are signed on both the recto and verso, with direction numbers 1-16 for signatures 2a-2g and 1-7 for gathering 2h (2h8 verso unsigned). I have never encountered signing on both the recto and verso before and didn't see anything in Gaskell or Bowers on how
best to construct a signature statement in this case. I am hoping that someone else has encountered this before and can provide some guidance. The statement I have so far is:<o:p></o:p></p>

numbers 1-16, gathering 2h with direction numbers 1-7. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also checked a number of other titles printed by Gryphius in our collection to see if he often printed books with signatures on the recto and verso, but was not able to find another example. If anyone else has seen other titles printed
by him where this occurs I would be interested in knowing! Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
