I have known this, and it seems as though the inversion is in the
original manuscript. In the page immediately before the inversion,
there is a paragraph explaining the foliation of the book was done in
the year 1868. It seems to me that the old Boethius editions were so
well
That's just silly, Howard. The inversion was a desperate device to prevent
thumb-under players from becoming thumb-over players. They saw the handwriting
on the wall and were willing to try anything at that point.

The same instructions are printed on the pages themselves, to prevent readers
