See also:COLLATION (See also:Lat. collatio, from conferre, to bring together or compare) , the bringing together of things for the See also:special purpose of comparison, and thus, particularly, the See also:critical examination of the texts of documents or See also:MSS. and the result of such comparison. The word is also a See also:term in See also:printing and See also:bookbinding for the See also:register of the " signatures," the number of quires and leaves in each See also:quire of a See also:book or MS. In See also:Roman and Scots See also:law " collation " answers to the See also:English law term "hotch-pot" (q.v.). From another meaning of the Latin word, a consultation or See also:conference, and so a See also:treatise or See also:homily, comes the See also:title of a See also:work of Johannes See also:Cassianus (q.v.), the Conferences of the Fathers (Collationes Patrum). Readings from this and similar See also:works were customary in monasteries; by the See also:regula of St See also:Benedict it is ordered that on rising from supper there should be read collationes, passages from the lives of the Fathers and other edifying works; the word is then applied to the discussions arising from such readings. On fast days it was usual in monasteries to have a very See also:light See also:meal after the Collatio, and hence the meal itself came to be called " collation," a meaning which survives in the See also:modern use of the word for any light or quickly prepared repast.
See also:COLL$, See also:CHARLES (1709–1783), See also:French dramatist and See also:song-writer, the son of a See also:notary, was See also:born at See also:Paris in 1709. He was See also:early interested in the rhymes of See also:Jean Heguanier, then the most famous maker of couplets in Paris.

When about seventeen, however, he made the acquaintance of See also:Alexis See also:Piron, and afterwards, through Gallet (d. 1757), of Panard. The example of these three masters of the See also:vaudeville, while determining his vocation, made him diffident; and for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

The friendship of the younger See also:Crebillon, however, diverted him from this by-way of See also:art, and the See also:establishment in 1729 of the famous "Caveau " gave him a See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.

From 1748 to 1772, besides these and a multitude of songs, Colle was See also:writing his See also:Journal, a curious collection of See also:literary and See also:personal strictures on his boon companions as well as on their enemies, on Piron as on See also:Voltaire, on La Harpe as on See also:Corneille. Colle died on the 3rd of See also:November 1783. His lyrics are See also:frank and jovial, though often licentious. The subjects are love and See also:wine; occasionally, however, as in the famous lyric (1756) on the See also:capture of See also:Port Mahon, for which the author received a See also:pension of 600 livres, the See also:note of patriotism is struck with no unskilful hang, while in many others Colle shows himself possessed of considerable epigrammatic force.
