I think prologue is generally a short piece of text - like a mini chapter- written by the author, either setting the scene or sometimes giving a brief glimpse into a situation later in the novel to increase anticipation.

Follow up question: is it the same for quotes at the beginning of chapters? Or for those tantalising chapter summaries you sometimes get in older (or faux older) books?
