Explanation:
exactly as you said :)

http://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=it&lr=&safe=off&clien...

but please note that in Italia 'collettaneo' can also mean 'miscellanous' that means that it can be composed by the contributes of different authors or by *diffferent kind* of contributes (recipies as well as lov letter as well as growing children tips...)
anyway when you say 'collettaneo' and you deal with a book you just mean that the book contains papers (or whatever else :) written by different authors NOT different kind of subjects.
