The classic Addenda a manuscript include forewords, prefaces, introductions, afterwords ( slander ), and the Appendices as additional sections of text about endnotes, index and glossaries, and image materials. This accompanying the actual text secondary texts are the bound book (often dubbed there as attachment) " integrated ", and ceasing to be independent document.
