This article appears in Volume V10, Page 600 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FOLIO (properly the ablative case of the Lat. folium, leaf, but also frequently an adaptation of the Ital. foglio) , a
term
  in
bibliography and printing, with reference either to the size of
paper
  employed, or of the
book
 , or to the pagination. In the phrase " in folio " it means a
sheet
  of
paper
  folded once, and thus a
book
  bound up in sheets thus folded is a book of the largest size and is known as a " folio " (see BIBLIOGRAPHY). Similarly, " folio " is one of the sizes of paper adapted to be thus folded (see PAPER). In book-keeping the word is used for a page in a
ledger
  on which the credit and debtor
account
  is written; in law-writing, for a fixed number of words in a legal document, used for measurement of the length and for the addition of
costs
 . In
Great
  Britain, a "folio "is taken to contain 72 words, except in
parliamentary
  and chancery documents, when the number is 9o. In the U.S.A. too words form a " folio."
