Talk:Title page

Multiple title pages

Some books have more than one page with the title on, often one with just the title, and another either more ornate or with the author, publisher etc. on it too. Are both of these title pages, or are the separate terms to distinguish between the two? --xensyria^T 08:54, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Just found half title, and added it to the see also section. --xensyria^T 09:03, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Title pages of chapters

Some books have something like a frontispiece for each chapter. Is there a name for that? An example is here for Perspectiva Corporum Regularium (1568). The first is for the book, the others are for chapters. A modern example is The Neverending Story (search "neverending story initials"). Greetings, Watchduck (quack) 15:04, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
