Parts Table (tblParts)

Parts Level:  Height

Definition:  Height of the book block.

Comment:  Measure the support, not the binding; measure in mm; if the manuscript has fold-out plates, measure the normal, non-folded leaves, not those that are oversize; if the manuscript consists of several cropped or mutilated fragments, give the measurement of the largest fragment, i.e., of the one which comes closest to what the original non-damaged shape would have been. If you want to signal the measurement as approximative, please put "ca." after the number, since at some point DS may use these fields for controlled searching, and one would want a number to open the field.

Example:

  • 215, ca.

Properties:  Data type: text. Field size: 15.

Required?:  Yes.
