Colophon
A note recording a book's production details, traditionally placed at its end.
A colophon records details about a book's production. In early books it may identify the printer, place or date. Contemporary examples may discuss paper, typesetting or the typefaces used.
Content and placement vary between editions. The note documents the making of the book rather than summarizing its contents or replacing bibliographic identification.
Example
A final note names the printing workshop and the typeface used for the text.
In the workshop
Include only production details you can verify.
