This week's word: mise-en-pageThe overall organization of the page, as regards placement and dimensions of the writing-frame, number and width of columns of writing, number of ruled lines per column, placement of any illustrations or miniatures, whether the page was originally organized for a gloss as opposed to receiving one subsequently, etc.
From: T.S. Haskett's Some Notes on Palaeography, Codicology and Diplomatics, 2001.
