[edit] Folio numbering

In a recent edit, User:Wetman commented it's not a folio. This may be so, but it probably requires further explanation, as most sources (including the image collection on the Commons) seem to refer to the images in relation to their folio. -- Solipsist 19:11, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what wetman means by "its not a folio". He could mean that the the book is not of the size commonly known as folio, which is true. However, so far as no, the boook is foliated, not paginated, that is the each individual leaf is counted rather than each side of a leaf as is done in modern books. Since every reference to the book I have ever seen indicates the folio a miniature is on (assuming that the reference is actually explicit on the issue), rather than the page, the article should give the total number of folios rather than the total number of pages. I don't know the number, but I will endevor to find out. Dsmdgold 21:57, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

When you've got it nailed down, it sure would make a good short paragraph in the entry, with a folio linkage, for unilluminated folks like me! --Wetman 22:07, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

I have upload this image collection on the Commons. Images are in relation to their folio. I didn't not upload the all folio and the completes pages, only the miniatures. If you need more, i can upload the complete book, and the complete folios. Best regards. Petrusbarbygere 13:20, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
