(quote-book)|year=2004|page=140|isbn=978-0-521-83487-2|passage=We saw above that the fourth quire consists of ten folios, two of which (folios 29 and 31) w:Richerus Richer added to a quaternion (folios 23 to 28, 30, 32). Most of the folios Richer added to his manuscript supplement, elaborate, or amend text that he had already composed in the codex. In this quire, however, Richer wrote around the added folios as if it was the quire he added to them, not the converse. Indeed, if we were to remove folios 29 and 31, there would be neither grammatical nor narrative continuity between the original folios of the quire which would face each other, that is, between folios 28verso and 30recto on the one hand, or folios 30v and 32r on the other.
