dedication page

Author's gratitude section

A dedication page is the page in a book where the author inscribes a brief tribute to someone—a spouse, parent, mentor, or friend: For my mother, who believed in me.

It typically appears near the front, after the title page.

Dedications range from simple names to cryptic inside references only the dedicatee would understand.
