Does anyone know of any codices where the main text of a book begins on the pasteup -- i.e. on folio 1v, where fol. 1r is invisible because it's glued directly to the binding board?
I am research one such book and trying to understand if this is unique, rare or common. And in particular, might this have been done to hide the text on folio 1r (which is now visible since it was pried up, if you can see past the paste marks).
