Parts Level: Width
Definition: Width 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.
Usual proportions of a book dictate that the width is less than the height; if your numbers reverse and place the larger number as the width, take a moment to make certain that you've entered the information correctly (album format of calligraphy manuals, for example, would have the larger number for the Width).
