An excusatio Lazari or "Lazzaro's disclaimer" is a message to the reader found occasionally in publications, whereby the editor, publisher, or bibliopole transfers the blame for any errors to the anonymous printer while forging a connection with his readership. Included for the first time in his 1497 edition of Terence by , the message may be found in books by other publishers and into the twenty-first century.
