Quire and bifolio patterns for strangely-aligned text
#5
A right-aligned word at the end of a page in a European medieval manuscript would likely be a catchword (that is, a repetition of the first word(s) of the next leaf, as a guide for the scribe and the binder...generally found at the end of a quire, but sometimes on every verso), but that isn't the case in the VMS. There aren't any right-aligned word(s) at the end of a page that match the beginning word(s) of any other leaves.
