Agustin Arrojo is the name printed on this label, which identifies him as the owner of the book it was pasted into. The Latin phrase "ex libris" means "from the books of," and collectors have used such labels since the 1500s to mark their libraries. Many bookplates carry a coat of arms, an allegorical scene, or a motto, and the design often hints at the owner's interests or profession. Bookplates like this one are small, but they show how private readers took pride in building and identifying their libraries.
