Robert Hayman's 1628 book Quodlibets devotes much of its text to epigrams.. An epigram is a brief, interesting, memorable, sometimes surprising or satirical statement. The word derives from the Greek ἐπίγραμμα (epígramma, "inscription", from ἐπιγράφειν [epigráphein], "to write on, to inscribe"). [1]
Epigram is essentially a typed lambda calculus with generalized algebraic data type extensions, except for two extensions.

[3] A book may have an overall epigraph that is part of the front matter, or one for each chapter.
