Art/Literary - Printing & Publishing | | Spanish term or phrase: despiece | I am translating a book description, and one paragraph begins as follows:
"Un despiece aparte de este capítulo habla de...."
I know what "despiece" means when it comes to images, but what is it in this case, and in particular when followed by "aparte de"?
A "closer look" (like the exploded view detailed view of an image)? But then this "aparte de" doesn't make sense.

| Note from asker to answererAt first I wasn't sure, but now I'm convinced. The term appears a few more times further down in the text (e.g. it says "the chapter concludes with a [despiece]). And since there are no drawings in the book, it must be an appendix. A big thanks to you and everyone else.

| (separate or independent) analysis
Explanation:
Hola María,
Otra idea.
Me parece que aquí podría estar empleando la palabra "despiece" en sentido figurado como el "análisis" de ese capítulo específico o la revisión de cada una de sus partes o componentes; por otra parte lo de "aparte" me parece que se refiere simplemente a un análisis por separado, independiente o incluso paralelo a la obra en su totalidad.
análisis.
1. m. Distinción y separación de las partes de un todo hasta llegar a conocer sus principios o elementos.
2. m. Examen que se hace de una obra, de un escrito o de cualquier realidad susceptible de estudio intelectual.

Sólo una suposición.
