curator_note: "Cover, masthead, and contents retained. Unnumbered advertising leaves are intentionally omitted: leaves 1–4 and 85–87; editorial folios 849–928 map to source leaves 5–84. The contents gives the opening item as 848, but the first editorial leaf bears no visible folio and is mapped as 849 because the following visible folio is 850; this preserves the continuous volume sequence through 928."
