Word origin

The term 'errata' originates from the Latin word 'erratum', which means 'an error'. In the context of publishing, it became popularized during the Renaissance when printing became widespread, and the need for accurate texts led to the publication of lists of errors and their corrections. The practice of including errata became an essential part of scholarly and scientific publishing, where precision is crucial. It serves to maintain the credibility of the authors and the publishing houses, demonstrating a commitment to high standards.
