In the field of book publishing, a collection, or more precisely editorial collection is a set of books published by the same publisher, usually written by various authors, grouped under the same title, each book with a particular title. The collective title is the title of the collection, it must be mentioned on each book.
Brief history
In France, the concept of "collection" was invented by Louis Hachette, a 19th-century publisher, under the name Template:Lang, which means "library".
In 19th and early 20th-century Spain, literary collection publishings such as "Template:Ill", "Template:Ill", "Template:Ill" and "Template:Ill" were in full swing. The "Biblioteca ilustrada de Gaspar y Roig", created in 1851 in Madrid, notably for its encyclopaedialike contents. It contains not only the literary works (popular novels of the 19th century), but also reference work (dictionary), Comte de Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, Cesare Cantù's Template:Lang, Juan de Mariana's Template:Lang... and it even contains the whole Bible in Spanish (Template:Ill).
In Italy, the first editorial collection "Collana historica dei greci" included vulgarised works of twelve Greek historians, edited by the 16th-century humanist Tommaso Porcacchi and printed in Venice by Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari from 1563 to 1585. They gave it this metaphorical use of the term: each work is a "ring" or "joy" of the Template:Lang (collana originally means "necklace").
In Portugal, the "Template:Ill"—a collection of science fiction novels and short stories—appeared in 1953, created by the Portuguese publisher Template:Ill, which aimed to be a pioneer in the popularization of the genre in the country.
In Brazil, the "boom of collections" took place in a context of impressive growth of the publishing market. If the publication of collections was still thin on the ground in the 1920s, it would eventually rise and spread in the 30s.
In Romania, the "Template:Ill" (Template:Literal translation), a pocket-sized collection, was created by the folklorist Template:Ill in 1895.
