This rounding does touch the edges of some kephalaia, so it is possible there were gathering numbers in the actual corners that are now gone.<br /><br />The binding-side edges could have been cut, I suppose, but to me they look more like they were torn. The leaf that is still clinging onto its opposing side seems to negate the idea that they were cut out, but maybe?<br /><br />James, I don't have the contents here at home with me, but if I remember correctly, they come from mid-Matthew, mid-Mark, and both mid and late John. Not the first or last pages in any case.<br /><br />Two of the Matthew folios that are now sewn/pasted together are continuous text, the other two are missing a folio that should be between them.<br /><br />If I figure out how, maybe I can take some screen shots and show you the physical attributes that I've been trying to describe without compromising the promise to keep the text private until publication.Amy Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14380186448771079820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-36984313907230792222014-02-13T17:55:45.117+00:002014-02-13T17:55:45.117+00:00I agree with Dr. Head that they must have been cut...I agree with Dr. Head that they must have been cut-up by a bookseller. If I understand correctly, this was a very common practice up into the early 20th century. Also, booksellers would re-bind the manuscripts and then trim the edges of the pages in order to even them out. It is possible that the gathering numbers were cut away at some stage in this fashion. I say all of this because I have a 13th century parchment Latin Vulgate leaf that has been cutaway from the other half of the corresponding codex page. All of the edges are trimmed way down as I described above, which has cut away part of the running title to 2 Corinthians in the upper margin.<br />Just some thoughts from a non-expert :)Timothy N.
