“Ex-libris” is a Latin term meaning “from the books of.” It refers to a label or stamp placed in a book to indicate its owner. These labels often feature artistic designs, including symbols, initials, or images that reflect the owner's personality or interests. Ex-libris can be found in various forms, such as printed labels or hand-drawn illustrations. Collectors and bibliophiles often create or acquire unique ex-libris to personalize their book collections. The practice dates back to the Renaissance and continues to be a popular way to mark ownership in libraries and personal bookshelves.
