What a fun thing to catalog! I'm no expert in manuscript collation, or in full-sheet formats, so for what it's worth, since it is appears to be quired, I'd record the collation. </div>

it signify that the fifth leaf is physically attached to K4 instead of just inserted between the quires? Is there a reason it shouldn't be recorded as K<sup>5</sup>. For folded sheets that wouldn't be accurate, but for a full-sheet format I'm not seeing anything
wrong with it. </span></div>

Under current rules, it's format is (<b>full-sheet)</b> in the 300$c. Completely unsigned gatherings are assigned numbers instead of letters. So:</div>

<div style="direction:ltr">Hello,</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">I am cataloging a gradual from the 1600s. I have never cataloged something like this. It came with some notes that I am not sure how to add to the bib record. The notes say, "Because of the book's large size, each leaf required
a separate piece of vellum, so we can fairly call it a 1mo format. But the singleton leaves were attached to each other in pairs and quired together mostly in groups of eight leaves. One can therefore make a sort of collational formula, keeping in mind that
its "quires' are in fact groups of singleton leaves: [A]-[I]8 [K]4 (K4 + [chi]1) [L]-[Y]8 [Z]6=179 ll., lacking Z6." </div>
<div style="direction:ltr">I would greatly appreciate any advice!</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Thank you,</div>
