<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello all,</div><div><br></div><div>I am seeking guidance on how to formulate a signature statement for a Dutch volume from 1676. The work was first issued in 1675 under the title "G. Brandts stoute geveynstheyt, in het opdragen of toe-eygenen van sijn Arminiaense Historie..." and included a second component with distinct title page "G. Brandts liefdeloose geest." It was re-issued in 1676 with a new title page "G. Brandts geveynstheyt en liefdeloose geest"; some copies (including the one I am working with) included the two original title pages from the 1675 edition, in addition to the 1676 title page. Other than the added title page and an errata page - see below - the texts are essentially the same.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The STCN record for the 1676 edition (<a href="https://picarta.oclc.org/psi/DB=3.11/SET=1/TTL=1/SHW?FRST=2" target="_blank">https://picarta.oclc.org/psi/DB=3.11/SET=1/TTL=1/SHW?FRST=2</a>) gives the collation as<b> π1 *4(-*1) A-Q4 R1</b>. Several OCLC records for the 1676 edition have similar statements.</div><div><br></div><div>
<div>However, my copy has the following leaves in sequence:<br><br>1676 title page (unsigned)</div><div>1675 title page (unsigned, but assumed asterisk^1)</div><div>text page, signed asterisk^2 <br></div><div>text page, signed asterisk^3</div><div>text page, unsigned but assumed asterisk^4, with catchword G. BRANDTS<br></div><div>R (an errata leaf, "Druck-Fauten te verbeteren")<br></div><div>A-Q^4
(main text, starting on A1/page fol. 1 with caption title G. BRANDTS
STOUTE GEVENSTHEYT... and ending on Q4/page 127 with blank verso)</div><div>
<div><br></div><div>The unsigned 1676 title page and R leaf are on printed on the same sheet, and the asterisk^4 gathering is inserted within
that bifolium
</div>
</div><div><br></div>
<div></div><div>There are at least three digitized copies on Google
Books: two copies have the R1 page bound at the end (matching the STCN sequence above), while a third has R1 following the 1676 title page with which it shares a sheet, then the
asterisk^4 gathering, then the main A-Q^4 text.<br></div></div><div></div><div>
Given the four examples (3 digitized, 1 in hand)
that I have, I wonder if the R1 page was meant to be separated and
bound as a separate leaf at the end of the 1676 issue? (A Dutch OCLC record
#64792789 for the 1676 issue has the note "Met los toegevoegd blad R1
met Druck-Fauten," which might support that assumption.) <br></div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, after this very long introduction, my question: How would I formulate a signature statement for this edition, given the migrating R1?</div><div><br></div><div></div><div>(To additionally complicate matters, my copy is also the first title in a bound-with! But I don't think that has had any other effect on the collation.)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks,</div><div>Sarah</div><div><br></div><div>Google Books copy 1: <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=lcHWBP5_efkC" target="_blank">https://books.google.com/books?id=lcHWBP5_efkC</a></div><div>Google Books copy 2: <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=saBlAAAAcAAJ" target="_blank">https://books.google.com/books?id=saBlAAAAcAAJ</a></div><div>Google Books copy 3: <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=iYNOAAAAcAAJ" target="_blank">https://books.google.com/books?id=iYNOAAAAcAAJ</a></div><div><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div></div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><font size="2"><b>Sarah Hovde</b></font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><font size="2">Monographs & Media Cataloger</font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><font size="2">University of Maryland Libraries</font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><font size="2"><a href="mailto:shovde@umd.edu" target="_blank">shovde@umd.edu</a></font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><font size="2">she/her/hers</font></span><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
