Definition
A collection of literary excerpts or miscellaneous pieces gathered together; miscellaneous writings or documents.
Etymology
From Latin 'collectanea' (plural of 'collectaneum'), derived from 'colligere' (to collect). This neuter plural noun emphasizes items gathered together from various sources.
Kelly Says
Medieval and Renaissance scholars made 'collectanea'—literally just notebooks where they wrote down interesting passages from books they read. These 'collections' became invaluable records of texts that are now lost, making them treasures for historians.
