They both concern the paradigmatic case of probabilistic independence of the random variables that are being summed. A generalization of the BG theory, usually referred to as nonextensive statistical mechanics and characterized by the index q (q = 1 recovers the BG theory), introduces global correlations between the random variables, and recovers independence for q = 1. The classic central limit theorem was recently q-generalized by some of us. In the present paper we q-generalize the L´evy-Gnedenko central limit theorem. 1 Introduction In the recent paper by some of us [1], a generalization of the classic central limit theorem applicable to nonextensive statistical mechanics [2, 3] (which recovers the usual,
