The quiremarks were added when the manuscript was bound, which we are suggesting took place a bit later in the manuscript's history. As for Quire 9, I think it's likely that the quiremarks were written when whoever bound it was getting the quires organized, but for reasons unknown it was sewn in through a different fold. As Wladimir has shown, the holes that correspond with the correct valley-fold for quire 9 were never actually stitched.

I’m still a little confused how the gathering mark ended up in the wrong place if the book was already bound without being rebounded from a previously correct alignment. The person adding the marks would surely have known he was marking on a recto instead of the expected verso.

I also know this is a very minor point to focus on from your paper.
