folio
Isaac Kremer/ November 23, 2025/ / 0 comments
In Latin, for “leaf.” A term used to describe the leaves of a manuscript book (codex). By convention, manuscripts are numbered by folios, rather than pages. Each leaf is identified by a number, and the front and the back of the leaf are distinguished by the terms recto (for the front) and verso (for the back). Also see folium. (Terry, 2022)
