Understanding Sextodecimo Book Size: History, Dimensions, and Comparison to Other Sizes

Sextodecimo (Italian for "sixteenth") is a book size that is equal to 16mo (i.e., sixteen moons). It is a size of book that is smaller than octavo but larger than duodecimo. In modern times, the term is not commonly used and has been largely replaced by the more standardized sizes such as A5 or 6 x 9 inches.
