| ===== Needham's Ruler - Instructions for use ===== |
| |
| The rulers were handed out at CERL events, and are available upon request as long as stocks last.\\ |
| |
| Paul Needham explains its use:\\ |
| 'What incunabulists typically see are not uncut sheets of paper, but rather bound volumes, with varying degrees of trimming. |
| My recommendation, therefore, is to think in terms of very large copies of folio incunables printed using each of the 8 distinct paper sizes. What this ruler provides are these “nearly-maximum” heights and widths. |
| Please note: (1) Most copies will be smaller in both dimensions than the measurements provided, due to shaving of edges by binders. (2) There are only a few Super-Median incunables. (3) Half-Median size is found in a dozen or so Franciscus Renner editions of the 1470s, always or almost always used together with half-sheets of Median paper.' |
