Colophon (publishing) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Colophon (book)) Jump to: navigation, search In publishing, a colophon describes details of the production of a book. This information generally includes the typefaces used, and often the names of their designers; the paper, ink and details of the binding materials and methods may also receive mention. In the case of technical books, a colophon may specify the software used to prepare the text and diagrams for publication. Detailed colophons are a characteristic feature of limited edition and private press printing. If a book has a colophon, it may appear either on the same page as the copyright information, or at the back of the volume. In early printed books the colophon follows the explicit, the final words of the text. A printer's or publisher's device on the title page or spine is sometimes loosely called the colophon. Some Web pages also have colophons, which frequently contain (X)HTML, CSS, or usability standards compliance information and links to Web site validation tests. The term "colophon" derives from the Late Latin colophon, from the Greek κολοφων (meaning "summit", "top", or "finishing"). It should not be confused with Colophon, an ancient city in Asia Minor, the name of which derives from the Latin colophonium, meaning "colophony", or rosin (ronnel). The term derives from a tablet inscription appended by a scribe to the end of an ancient Near East (e.g., Early/Middle/Late Babylonian, Assyrian, Canaanite) text such as a chapter, book, manuscript, or record. The colophon usually contained facts relative to the text such as associated person(s) (e.g., the scribe, owner, or commissioner of the tablet), literary contents (e.g., a title, "catch" phrase, number of lines), and occasion or purpose of writing. Positionally, a colophon is comparable to a signature line in our own times. Bibliographically, however, colophons more closely resemble the title page in a modern book. In the ancient Near East, scribes typically recorded information on clay tablets. Colophons and "catch phrases" (repeated phrases) helped them to organize and identify various tablets, and to keep related tablets together.
