Bookplate or ex libris – A printed label identifying the owner of a book. It is usually adhered inside a book’s front cover or to its front end paper. Many bookplates are decorative. They often bear a coat of arms (with or without a family motto) or some other design personal to the owner. Bookplates are sometimes called “ex libris,” because this Latin phrase meaning, “From the books of . . .” traditionally appears on bookplates. Modern bookplates often carry images or text praising books or scholarly pursuits.
