When you open a chapter with a quote or excerpt from a book, but the book not a real book, and might be real in the world of the story.

It's like faux-something or pseudo-something?

Is it a technique or just what the paragraph is called?

I don't remember....

Fake-tro? Faux logue?

I forgorrrr

Some novels have a bit like this

The part "The Book of Brin" is not a real book.

It's a book within the world of the novel. What is adding that called? or What is it called?

Apparently it's called an epigraph. And it can be fictional or real.

Shouldn't it be technically called a prograph? An epigraph would be a short quote at the end of a chapter, right?
It could also be an epigram, if it's a literal quote.
and Program just wouldn't work :)
