Daemon wrote:pagination(noun) The system of numbering pages. Synonyms: folio, pagingUsage: The editions of Holy Writ are so numerous that he could hardly suppose that two copies would have the same pagination.
Pagination is the process of dividing a document into discrete pages, either electronic pages or printed pages.
In reference to books produced without a computer, pagination can mean the consecutive page numbering to indicate
the proper order of the pages, which was rarely found in documents pre-dating 1500, and only became common practice
c. 1550, when it replaced foliation, which numbered only the front sides of folios.
