An atlas title page often is just one superb artistic and jubilant cartouche. Usually the pictures of an atlas title page pertained in general to the subject matter: Measuring instruments, mythologigal, astronomical, religious, scientific, allegorical hints and facts were united in a composition which depicted the pride of progress in knowledge. A publisher emphazised the importance of a book he published with a spectacular entrée. And, again, titles were individual pieces of art. The first printed books, or incunabula, did not have title pages: the text simply begins on the first page, and the book is often identified by the initial words?the incipit?of the text proper. Further information about the publication of the book, including its copyright information, is frequently printed on the verso of the title page. Particularly in paperback editions it may contain a shorter title than the cover or lack a descriptive subtitle. The title page often shows the title of the work, the person or body responsible for its intellectual content, and the imprint, which contains the name and address of the book's publisher and its date of publication. History: The title page is one of the most important parts of the "front matter" or "preliminaries" of a book, as the data on it and its verso (together known as the "title leaf") are used to establish the "title proper and usually, though not necessarily, the statement of responsibility and the data relating to publication".This determines the way the book is cited in library catalogs and academic references.
