[DCRM-L] Collation Question

[O'Brien, Iris]

Dear Philippe,

I think you would express this situation like this (based on Gaskell, p. 330); I hope somebody will correct me if this is wrong as I have never come across two gatherings interpolated inside a single gathering before:

2i⁸(2i3 + [dagger]-2[dagger]⁸)

(assuming each gathering has 8 leaves)

I hope the superscripts will display properly, if not, here a snip of the above:

Kind regards,

Iris

Subject: [DCRM-L] Collation Question

Dear DCRM-L Users,

I’m writing because I’m in a bit of a pickle. I’m currently cataloging a 17th century edition of Callimachus’s Pinakes, an octavo. In the first volume, one gathering (signed ‘2i’) is interrupted after the 3rd leaf by 2 gatherings (signed ‘dagger’ and ‘2[dagger],’ respectively) before picking up where it left off with the rest of gathering “2i”. A printed “Note to the Binder” at the end of the volume suggests that this was intentional/consistent across volumes in this edition. I’ve been rummaging through Bowers, but I can’t seem to find any guidance as to how to record this signature statement and was wondering if someone with more experience would be able to clarify. Please let me know!

Thank you so much in advance for your time and attention!

All best,

Philippe
