  Colophon (publishing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the case of technical books, a colophon may specify the software used to prepare the text and diagrams for publication.
It should not be confused with Colophon, an ancient city in Asia Minor, the name of which derives from the Latin colophonium, meaning "colophony", or rosin(ronnel).
The colophon usually contained facts relative to the text such as associated person(s) (e.g., the scribe, owner, or commissioner of the tablet), literary contents (e.g., a title, "catch" phrase, number of lines), and occasion or purpose of writing.

Characteristic of the Hebrew colophons is the religious character imparted to them by an expression of thanks to God that the work had been happily completed, or a prayer that those who had assisted might be spared to do similar work for many years to come.
Colophons were also at times used to call special attention to some one person who had assisted in the work.
Colophons are almost in variably in Hebrew, though occasionally, especially in Italy, some Latin or Italian words are added; thus in the Venice edition (1582) of "Shalshelet ha-Ḳabbalah," after the words "It is finished," are found the words "In Venetia apresso Gio.

 The Shape of Days: Colophon
A colophon is a section of a book, usually at the back, that describes the book itself.
It usually tells you what typefaces were used, what country had to be colonized to build the plantations to make the paper, and how big the drum of ink was.
On a Web site, the colophon is usually the page where the designer, in a fit of crippling narcissism, tells you what emo or goth-punk albums he-slash-she was rockin’ out to while he-slash-she was trying to remember what all those little toolbar buttons do in that one Web program.
