"quadrilogy
A story contained in four parts.
Mostly known from the title of the boxset of Aliens-series films, "Alien Quadrilogy." An awkward mix of Greek and Latin, seen as incorrect by some linguists (despite the common word "television" being a similar combination of Greek and Latin). The Latin-rooted word "tetralogy" means the same thing and avoids the awkwardness."

Vick is right. Lawrence Durrell's "Alexandria Quartet" is never called anything but a quartet. The four books are Justine, Clea, Mountolive, and Balthazar.

I've heard "quartet" more commonly used for a 4 volume series...but it probably depends on what the author wants to call his/her work in the end.

It is not a dumb question. My answer is a four volume series is over kill on the subject.
