<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 584862, member: 5833&quot;]From the Wiki entry:</p><p><br /></p><p>Another edition in quarto format was printed by the <i>Imprimerie royale</i> in 36 volumes (1774–1804). It consisted of 28 volumes par Buffon, and 8 volumes by Lacépède. The part containing anatomical articles by Louis Jean-Marie Daubenton was dropped. <b><i>The supplements were merged into the relevant articles in the main volumes.</i></b> [Emphasis mine.]</p><p><br /></p><p>The <i>Imprimerie royale</i> also published two editions of the <i>Histoire Naturelle</i> in duodecimo format (1752–1805), occupying 90 or 71 volumes, depending on whether or not they included the part on anatomy. In this print format, the original work by Buffon occupied 73 volumes with the part on anatomy, or 54 volumes without the part on anatomy. The continuation by Lacépède took up 17 duodecimo volumes. </p><p><br /></p><p>What size book would be required to accommodate the fold out page?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
