So it's a bit too tight to really get in there and see it. But it also means that one could also solve this by assuming a conjugate flyleaf that didn't survive the rebind. But that in itself seems like an unlikely (and untidy) way to sign anyway. Anyway, good enough for now. On to other pastures.

that the fifth leaf is an unsigned singleton--a presumed chi. This seems most likely to me. The weirdness is that the catchword on [paragraph]4v correctly predicts the heading of this posited chi1r, which seems kind of odd for an insertion. It is in a modern binding. [3/4]

And it's got a funny little mystery with its first leaves too. It's a quarto, but the initial gathering is 5 leaves. I can't quite tell if there's a singleton in there or if there's an excised leaf. The title page is unsigned, but the next leaf is signed [paragraph]2. So that might mean... [2/4]
