The elements indicating the beginning and the closing of individual textual units in medieval manuscripts persisted in the period of the earliest printed books. These elements are the incipit, the explicit, and the colophon. Just like the design of the book and the layout of the text, the text announcements in manuscripts and incunabula were the same for a while.

From the late 15th century onwards, the amount of information given on the title page was increasing constantly. Author and title statements were joined by information about the edition, secondary authors such as commentators or translators, as well the place of publication, the name of the printer and publisher, the printer’s device, and the publication date. All of these elements have gradually moved to the title page from the colophon.

![[Il profilo del #founder in Europa] 👔
📊“Emerge un profilo comune: il fondatore medio è un uomo (82,8%), ha un titolo universitario (84,8%) e aveva 35 anni quando ha fondato la #startup.
Questo va contro lo stereotipo di un giovane in un garage e sottolinea piuttosto quanto siano effettivamente ben equipaggiati i fondatori, con le competenze acquisite attraverso l'istruzione universitaria, le conoscenze pratiche e l'esperienza.”
