Russian term or phrase: исторические цитаты
Здравствуйте, как можно написать исторические цитаты? ведь это не цитаты в прямом смысле, а некоторое копирование и использование стиля тех времен. Или позволительно написать quote в скобках?

В архитектурных решениях ОКС не допускаются:
выраженные исторические цитаты (копирование или выраженное цитирование русского узорочья, готики, ренессанса, барокко, рококо, псевдорусский и псевдовизантийский стили);


Спасибо!

In art, a reference is an item from which a work is based. This may include:

an existing artwork,
a reproduction (i.e., photo),
directly observed object (i.e., person), or
the artist's memory.
Another example of reference is samples of various musical works being incorporated into a new one.

agree  Steve R.: Actually, I hate it; however, there is explanatory text in parentheses, which usually indicates an intrinsic lack of clarity to begin with. To me "historical references" is unclear, but proportionally so relative to the source text. So I agree.

why copycat or imitation?
Because, the Russian source is "выраженные" исторические цитаты или копирование
