This week's word: marginaliaNotes of any kind written on the margin of a text, whether bearing on the text page or not. Marginal glosses are a type of marginalia, but not all marginalia gloss text they accompany; they may simply be doodles or diaristic notes or other unrelated jottings.
From: T.S. Haskett's Some Notes on Palaeography, Codicology and Diplomatics, 2001.
