ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista.

Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231).
