Information About

Ex Libris




Ownership inscriptions in books did not become common in Europe until the 13th Century , when various other forms of ' Librarian ship' became widespread (such as the use of class-marks, call-numbers, or shelfmarks).

Printed bookplates (the earliest surviving example is 15th Century ) typically include Heraldry , a Motto , and the name of the owner; but they may have no more than just a name or heraldic Crest , or be far more elaborate.
