"Quires a-t and A-E of The Golden Legend exist in a single setting. The remaining quires are known in duplicate settings. One setting [A] of these quires has the same layout as the common quires a-t and A-E, using type 3 for the headlines. The other setting [B] used type 5 for the headlines. Most copies consist of either only A-settings or only B-settings for these duplicated quires, but a few copies contain mixtures of A- and B-quires. There is good reason to believe that the duplicate settings were produced concurrently."--Paul Needham. The Printed and the Pardoner.
