Page Layout ⇒ Nice Part Title with Epigraph

[Francis]

Dear readers,

I'm writing a thesis containing several parts with the book class. I would like to have nice titles for the parts with an epigraph just below on the right. I already spend some hours on this problem without any success.

To be more precise, I would like something like:

### Beginning of part page ###

Part II
------------------------------ (a line)
The Title
------------------------------ (a line)
...............Epigraph text
.................Author




(hidden page number)
###### End of part page ######

Of course, the part must be referenced in the TOC.

I would be very grateful to any who gives me the LaTeX code to do that.

Best,

Francis

The epigraph package should be your friend in this case. As far as I remember this has been discussed here in the past. So a Forum Search should yield usable solutions.

Thanks for the quick answer.

I already looked at the epigraph package. But for the part I, I obtain a replication of the epigraph in the middle of the Introduction which is before part I. I don't know how to avoid that.

I used the code provided by gmedina.

About the nice title, I saw that the titlesec package could be a good choice. But it doesn't include an epigraph option.

Maybe there is a solution without package?

Best,

Francis
