VMs: Page numbering

[Rene Zandbergen <r_zandbergen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

anyone looking at the dendrograms at Gabriel's
site:
 http://web.bham.ac.uk/G.Landini/evmt/cl2.htm

may wonder if the codes 'MJ' 'MP' 'MR' which
appear in these refer to the page number.
They do indeed. This numbering was introduced
some years ago in order to have a clean and
alphabetically ordered code to identify each
page.
The first letter identifies the quire number
(A-T for 1 to 20). The second letter is the 
page in the quire, in the order as it appears
in the MS. It runs from A upwards for each quire.

This numbering is not intended to replace the
existing one - it is simply a tool which can be
used for automatic sorting. It is also exploited
in the VTT tool to extract individual quires from
transcription files. It can be observed in Stolfi's
interlinear file in the page headers, where it
might say: $Q=X $P=Y (quire=X, page in quire=Y).

Cheers, Rene
