Yes, I went through a bit
of an exercise in trying to deal with the misplaced folios based on the quire
numbers.
On major point for the
'out of order' argument is the placement of quire number 9 - at the beginning of
the quire
instead of at the end where all the others
are. If each 8 bi-folio contains a total of 16 'pages' one might
assume
that each of those 16 pages would be in the
same 'language'. I'll post an html version of some earlier
shuffling
that I did to line the quires up with
language sets A & B, content, and most specifically quire
numbering.
It's a basic assumption
of mine that the quire numbers are accurate - while the page numbering was done
after
the binding. It doesn't seem to make sense
to me that the quire number '9' begins a quire on folio 69, when
the
quire 8 signature is where it should be
(bottom right of the last 'verso' side of 16 pages).
