unpaginated

Lacking page numbers

Unpaginated describes a book, document, or other printed material that lacks page numbers.

This is common in certain types of publications such as art books, children's books, or preliminary sections like forewords and title pages.

When citing an unpaginated source, scholars typically note this with "n. pag." or similar conventions.

The medieval manuscript was unpaginated, making it difficult to reference specific passages.
