Italian term or phrase: collazione teorica

Would this be 'theoretical comparison' ?? 'Collation' doesn't convince me.
Sentence:
L’unico vantaggio di un simile esperimento, di collazione teorica tra i Sessanta e l'oggi, sarebbe stato quello di testimoniare una crisi temporale.

Thanks.

theoretical collation/comparison

Explanation:
Da Babylon:
collation
s. collazione, confronto; (Legat) raccoglitura; (Bibliot) descrizione; spuntino, refezione
Anche "comparison" è correttissimo:
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collazione
La collazione è un termine che può indicare una sezione bibliografica, un'operazione filologica o un istituto giuridico.

Dal latino collationem, che deriva da collatus, participio passato del verbo difettivo conferre, che significa conferire, paragonare, portare insieme.

Nel tuo contesto calza a pennello

5 hrs confidence:

theoric juxtaposition

Explanation:
1. Putting side by side/together, rather than, strictly speaking, comparing.
Say, you can juxtapose cabbages and kings but would find difficult to establish the reasonable terms for their comparison.
2. Not theoretic but theoric.
