+Foliono is a package that replaces page numbering with medieval and
+early modern folio numbering.
+
+Folio numbering was used before modern page numbering convention came
+to use. In its basic form only every other page has a number and it
+has two parts: the quire number and the folio number inside the quire.
+A quire or a gathering is a collection of sheets that are bound into
+the book as one unit. For example, if a book has four-sheet quires,
+then each quire will have 16 modern pages and the folio 'B 1'
+corresponds to the modern page 17 and 'B 2' to page 19.
+
+The foliono package has direct support for several different folio
+numbering conventions that were used in books before the 19th century.
+The package works best in conjunction with fancyhdr and fontspec, but
+it can be used without them.
+
+
+This package is distributed under the Latex Project Public License
+(LPPL).
