[DCRM-L] crazy signatures

[Schneider, Nina]

Another question for the advance bibliographers amongst us...

I have in my hand the French translation of Hystoyre et plaisante cronicque. It is printed in 1793/4 (an II) in Paris. It is signed in such a way that I'm at a loss on how to record it.

It starts off innocently enough: pi^4 but then this happens (and this is a page-by page recreation):
1,2,3, [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned], 4, 5,6, [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned], 7,8,9, [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned], 10, 11, 12, [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned] ... 49, 50, 51 [unsigned], [unsigned], [unsigned], 52, [unsigned].

Is there a way to capture this in a signature statement or do I just include the whole thing? Bowers is failing me. 

Chain lines run vertical. My uncut copy is 14 cm high.

Thanks in advance!

Nina
