This word pilogue was used as the title of the last chapter of a book that a friend of mine was reading. It wasn't epilogue it was pilogue. I wonder if any of you dear readers have seen that before and if it has a different meaning than epilogue.

Greetings dlechner, and welcome to the forum.

That's gotta be a typo, though you'd think that would be rare in a section title. Was it an e-book that had been printed, or a scanned copy? There is no such word as "pilogue" (which spell-check immediately flags). However, when I did a search on Google Ngrams I did find this which suggests that the book may have been OCRed at some point and the software just skipped the embellished "E" thinking it was a graphic.

Tell me more about that book your friend was reading.

I would like to amplify Heimhenge's request with details like: author, title, publisher, was there more than one edition/printing (including e-book), etc.

It could have been a simple printing error.
