[DCRM-L] Signature questions from newbies

[Dick Miller]

In trying to record first gatherings, we have encountered some 
problems.  Assistance appreciated.

1.  Four unsigned leaves occur at beginning; however, register from 
colophon indicates * a b c ...
Should the first gathering be recorded as:  [*]4 ?    (4 is superscript)
More generally, should register be noted?

2. Twelve leaves at beginning: leaves 1 & 2 unsigned; leaf 3 signed 
aij; leaf 4 aiij; leaf 5 aiiij; leaf 6 av; leaves 7-12 unsigned.
pi1 a12 (-a1?)   (12 is superscript)

3. Pattern of 8 and 4 leaves signed:  a8 b4 A8 B4 C8 D4 E8 F4 
...  (all nos. superscript)
Sounds familiar from Deborah Leslie's class, but can't locate notes.
a8 b4 A-F (alternate 8 and 4)    (first 8 and 4 are superscript)
This is 15 cm.  Duodecimo?

Hope this isn't too much.  Regards, Dick & Cindy
