[DCRM-L] Folio format question

[Deborah J. Leslie]

What is the other measurement, Silvana? 33 cm is pretty tall for a
quarto, but the proportion of height to width would give us more
information.

Hi all,
Can a folio have horizontal chain lines?
My book:
Philostratus De uita Apollonii Tyanei scriptor luculentus 
Venice : Vitali, 1502
33 cm
sig: A-L6 M-N4 O6
w/ horizontal chain lines (can't really see any watermarks)
Sure looks like a folio to me ...

-Silvana

EDIT16 lists it as a quarto, which accords with the horizontal chain 
lines. Same fingerprint?
