Does it have to do with the misplaced sort (“that” becomes “thnt”) in the running title on C1v?

Yes—that’s an excellent error, isn’t it? There’s actually another oddity happening here as well…

Looks like a quarto, so the right hand leaf – if it really is c2r – should prob be folio 10 rather than folio 12. That it?

Yes—it really is C2r and it really should be fol. 10, not 12! It’s not as obvious an error as “thnt” and they’re happening for different reasons, but both tell us something about how the book was made.

The first things I noticed were the stab-stitching holes in the gutter, but that’s probably because stab-stitching is my current research obsession.

That’s actually an excellent point—we see what we’re looking to see!
