Page
As bibliographers use the term, a
page is one side of a leaf, which
is in turn part of a sheet. The number
of pages produced from each sheet depends on the format: in a folio, each sheet is folded into two
leaves, or four pages; in a quarto,
each sheet is folded into four leaves, or eight pages; in an octavo, each sheet is folded into eight
leaves, or sixteen pages.
