[DCRM-L] Symbol used in preliminary signatures

[Barbara Tysinger]

Hi All,

I need opinions on the symbol used to sign the preliminaries in a book I 
am cataloging.

The book is: /Artzneybuch Fast wunder ko?stlich .../ Ko?nigsperg in 
Preussen : durch Johann Daubman, M. D. LV.

You can see the symbol here: 
http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:3:1-318026-p0005-7

My main question, is this an asterism ? or a "therefore" sign ? ?
Secondary to that, since neither symbol can be reproduced on OCLC, what 
is the preferred bracketed term for each?

? = [asterism] or [triple star]

? = [therefore] or [triple dot]

or something else entirely!

Thank you,
Barbara
