When the incunabula arrived, the colophon gradually lost importance because the cover gave the necessary information, but many incunabula did not have a cover, so the colophon provided information about the author, the printer, the place and the date of printing and so on. its presence continued in the following centuries until the present. The article presents the evolution of the characteristics of the colophon in Mexico based on a wide presentation of selected illustrations.
