Exempel på hur man kan använda QUIRES i en mening

• The manuscript is a codex (precursor to the modern book) in quarto volume, written on 759 leaves of fine and thin vellum (sized , although originally bigger), in uncial letters, arranged in quires of five sheets or ten leaves each, similar to Codex Marchalianus or Codex Rossanensis; but unlike Codex Sinaiticus which has an arrangement of four or three sheets.
• The structure of a codex includes its size, format/ordinatio(its quires or gatherings, consisting of sheets folded a number of times, often twice- a bifolio), sewing, bookbinding and rebinding.
• The folios are gathered into quires, most of which have eight leaves each; the first and the next to last quires have only six leaves; and the eleventh quire has seven leaves excised.
• In the course of combining bifolios into quires, the medieval bookmakers needed a system by which they could keep the various quires in their proper order.
• Quires of 25 sheets are often used for machine-made paper, while quires of 24 sheets are often used for handmade or specialised paper of 480-sheet reams.
• The traditional organization of book production fell apart; they were made up of libraries doling out quires to scribes and illuminators, who lived in proximity.
• However, the text of Hoccleve's Letter in Fairfax 16 is uniquely disarranged, because after the scribe copied the (already disarranged) Letter from the same exemplar, the quires were accidentally misbound and the pages shuffled to create a second layer of disarrangement.
• The term “bat-book”, proposed by Johan Peter Gumbert in 2016, is used to describe a codex due to its specific codicological structure: while typical manuscript, like modern books, are bound in quires, “bat-books” are composed of individual folded leaves attached together, which are to be unfolded and read from the outer edge to the stub.
• The codex consists of 26 parchment folios, numbered 2-27 and grouped into five quires: a binion (folios 2-5), a quaternion (folios 6-13), an incomplete ternion (folios 14-18), and an incomplete quinion (folios 19-27).
