[DCRM-L] manuscript collation

[Colleen Fedewa]

Hello,
I am cataloging a gradual from the 1600s. I have never cataloged something
like this. It came with some notes that I am not sure how to add to the bib
record. The notes say, "Because of the book's large size, each leaf
required a separate piece of vellum, so we can fairly call it a 1mo format.
But the singleton leaves were attached to each other in pairs and quired
together mostly in groups of eight leaves. One can therefore make a sort of
collational formula, keeping in mind that its "quires' are in fact groups
of singleton leaves: [A]-[I]8 [K]4 (K4 + [chi]1) [L]-[Y]8 [Z]6=179 ll.,
lacking Z6."
I would greatly appreciate any advice!
Thank you,
Colleen
