Does anyone happen to know what the "cue" word printed at the bottom of the page break (to alert the reader to the first word at the top of the next page) is called in Latin? (Or, for that matter, in any other language?) There is a counterpart in music manuscripts called a "custos" that performs a similar function, but it indicates pitch rather than text.
It is common in Venetian prints of the 17th and 18th centuries, but I've seen it elsewhere, too.
I'll include an example, below. Thanks much!
