[DCRM-L] Errata leaves at end of volume

[Jones, Angela]

I have a rather unusual situation, and I am hoping someone can help!

I am cataloging a volume that has a number of re-printed pages at the end of the work; there are a total of 18 such pages. For example, pages 61-66 are reprinted at the back of the book, with some changes in the text. Those pages are followed by a reprint of pages 163-164, then a reprint of pages 455-458, etc. Not only are the original page numbers retained, but the original signatures on those pages are retained. Page 163 is marked with X2 on both the original version in the text as well as the revised page printed at the end of the book.

I plan to put in a note about these. Should I call these pages errata leaves, revised pages, or something else?

I’m also not sure exactly how to record the extent of the errata leaves at the end of the volume in the pagination statement in the 300 field. They do have page numbers, but the numbering is not continuous. Would it be correct to record that last sequence as “[18] pages in various pagings”? Or should I ignore the page numbers in this case and record “[18] pages”? This is somewhat complicated by the fact that the next to last section of the book is unpaged.

The book is Recuëil d'arrests de règlement et autres arrests notables, donnez au Parlement de Normandie …, printed in Rouen, France, in 1748.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
