Anotations

Scope note:

Emblems or devices with text added to the end of some manuscripts and incunabula by the author or scribe to provide the title of the work and the name or initials of its author or scribe. For similar closing statements in later printed books, use "colophons." Explicits were eventually incorporated into or completely replaced by the colophon, which included information about the printer, printing materials, and typeface, and, often, the printer's emblem.
