An ex libris (from Latin ex libris = "from the books [of...]") is a small, printed label pasted onto the inside cover of a book to indicate ownership.

The purpose: It protects valuable books from being lost when lent out and shows who the owner is.
The inscription: It almost always contains the owner's name, often introduced by the words "Ex Libris," "From the library of," or "My book."
The design: In addition to the name, it usually displays artistic graphics, coats of arms, portraits, or motifs that reflect the owner's hobbies, profession, or personality.
The origin: The custom arose shortly after the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, when books were still valuable luxury goods.
The techniques: In the past, they were usually produced as woodcuts or copper engravings, and later as lithographs, etchings, or linocuts.
