from a biography of an author:
"Ha inoltre redatto, con tre collaboratori, il volume undicesimo dell’enciclopedia "Pensar la biosfera" e l’opera collettanea "L'éthique environnementale".

Have also found lots of references to "volume collettanea" on the Web, not sure what is meant by it though. Many thanks in advance for any pointers!
