* A quire. The monks and professed scribes wrote their manuscripts in separate pieces, each consisting of four double leaves, or sixteen pages, and hence called a quaternio, whence is derived our modern word quire. These quaternios or “quayers,” were afterwards bound into a volume. The French cahier appears to have the same origin.
