Dimensions and trimming of the MS

[Anton]

Do you have a specific example where one can see that a quire mark continues at a folio below, at a point that has been definitely trimmed before?

Yes, as I said, Q3 and Q15 marks. Both these folios appear trimmed.

In the example of f8v, it rather seems to be the other way round:

On the contrary, it's the same way. One more example.

This example simply looks lifted to me, if you pressed it down flat, i think there would be no gap.

Exactly.

I don't think so. It looks the same in the later scan at the Beinecke digital library, and the camera perspective is also working against this.

In both old and new scans, the edge of folio 8 throws shadow upon the underlying folio, which means they are not pressed to each other. If they were, there would have been no shadow.
