Erratum

An erratum or corrigendum (plurals: errata, corrigenda) (comes from Latin: errata corrige) is a correction of a published text. As a general rule, publishers issue an erratum for a production error (i.e., an error introduced during the publishing process) and a corrigendum for an author's error. It is usually bound into the back of a book, but for a single error a slip of paper detailing a corrigendum may be bound in before or after the page on which the error appears. An erratum may also be issued shortly after its original text is published.

Examples of use of erratum
1. "We deliberately took the line that we would publish all articles that belong to the book as they were." Norkola adds that he expects that erratum slips with the missing passage would be added to the copies of the book that have already been printed.
