The word “leaves” in these collections refers to loose, individual pages that were originally part of complete books. Often the product of 19th and 20th century "bookbreakers" (book dealers who dismembered historic texts to sell the component pages individually or in portfolios), these leaves provide insight into the history of manuscript and print book production from across time and geography.

手稿 leaves are entirely handwritten and hand-produced. Many 日期 from before 1452, when moveable type and the printing process was invented in Europe. 印刷 leaves are a result of the print process, although the mechanics and techniques of that process vary across time and place. All European printed leaves are therefore 日期d no earlier than the 1450s.
