More about the Condition

The original width is estimated based on the column width and the width of the outer margin. Both widths were multiplied by 2 and then the sum lead to a minimum width of 124 mm. The original height is then estimated with the procedure of J.P. Gumbert’s statistical research on page dimensions of manuscripts. He has shown that the ratio of height to width generally lies between 0.60 and 0.80. The estimated minimum height is 155 mm.
