Academic paper on Italian Art History
This is from an academic paper on the Italian art historian Vasari's method of collecting drawings and unifying them. The context for this term is:
Mit der gleichen Logik and Konsequenz, die wir andernorts sowohl für den graphischen Aufbau, die Strichzelle, als auch für die große kompositionelle Formgebung der Florentiner Zeichnung hervorhoben, trat Vasari bei der Ordnung seiner Sammlung ständig neu in die Auseinandersetzung mit dem einmal festgelegten Format der Blätter des "Libro" ein.
Can't find out what a Strichzelle is, so if anyone can help, I would be grateful.

(regional style of) drawing structure/graphic composition
Vasari observed that a particular style of drawing was taught within different art academies, i.e. different regions of Italy. He collected and grouped those styles into "Strichzellen", "Strichbilder" or "Strichgruppen".

This may be a red herring (Vasari on Alberti; maths of perspective and Arabian science to Italy... ):

Discussion
There is lots about Vasari's dogged commitment to his projects in general in the article, though nowhere else about the Strichzelle. Can't ask the authors in this case.
Many thanks
Also (I expect you've been there... ) try 'fuzzy' searches within Vasari? - 10 vols online, Eng., at http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/25326. Though the Strichzelle (or Ital. equiv.) isn't necessarily Vasari's term - cd be your author's.
