<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve run into an interesting situation with a French book printed in 1782. The book is composed of various tables related to tariffs. The book is a 16mo and the signatures have gatherings of 6 leaves with the gatherings signed A-N.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The N gathering is the last one in the book and it is also in 6 leaves. However, between leaf N2 and N3 (pages 148-149) another gathering is inserted. This is a gathering of 4 leaves, completely unsigned. The pagination continues through
this section in a modified fashion, with pages in the inserted gathering being numbered 148 bis., 148 ter., 148 quatr., etc. There is also a cancellation at the point of the inserted signature.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What would be the proper way to designate this in a signature statement? I’ve looked in Gaskell and on page 330 I see a reference to interpolations made inside gatherings, but to be honest I am not sure how to interpret the example that
is given. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I wonder if our best options are one of these two statements:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A-N<sup>6 </sup><i>(with a note about the inserted signature either after the statement or in a note)<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OR<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A-M<sup>6</sup> N<sup>2</sup> chi<sup>4</sup> N3-N6 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or maybe something else? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any advice would be appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
