French term

coll. part.

Non-PRO French to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters From An Art History Book
Contexte (another caption to a book illustration) :

Selon un disciple de Cranach. Allégorie de la Vertu. Saisi à Paris en 1940 (coll. part.).

I think that "coll." probably refers to "collections", but not sure about "part." ( "Partial"/Part of")?

Merci Beaucoup,

Barbara

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Barbara Carrara, Jennifer White, Rob Grayson

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Peer comment(s):

disagree writeaway : It is customary on Kudoz to post an agree to answer you approve of, not to post the identical answer hours later. I have given a disagree because it's the 2nd time you have simply repeated an answer already posted by someone else.
