Etymology
The term 'folio' originates from the Latin word 'folium', meaning 'leaf'. It evolved through Old French as 'foliot' before being adopted into English during the Middle Ages. In its literary and bibliographic context, a folio refers to a single sheet of paper folded once, creating four pages. Over centuries, books have been categorized by size and format, with folio being one of the principal classifications. Folioed texts gained prominence due to their suitability for large illustrations and scholarly works, often becoming prestigious items in libraries and collections. The distinction between folio, quarto, and octavo formats continues to be relevant in the world of book publishing and collecting.
