The volume focuses on the study of 567 lamps, coming from the excavations of the North Necropolis of Antinoupolis carried out in the years 1965 and 1966 by the Papyrological Institute “G. Vitelli”, Florence. The examined lamps (mostly in an excellent state of conservation) constitute one of the most numerous collections of this ceramic class and are placed between the 5th and 7th century AD. The specimens analyzed are mostly locally produced, for which a typology based on shape and motifs is proposed, while the rest are imported (mostly from other centers of Egypt). Although conditioned by the scarcity of data available, the study of this collection therefore constitutes an important basis for the outline of the trades active in Antinoupolis in the pre-Islamic era.

Il volume verte sullo studio di 567 lucerne, provenienti dagli scavi della Necropoli Nord di Antinoupolis condotti negli anni 1965 e 1966 dall’Istituto Papirologico “G. Vitelli”, Firenze. Le lucerne esaminate (per lo più in ottimo stato di conservazione) costituiscono una delle più numerose collezioni di tale classe ceramica e si collocano tra il V ed il VII secolo d.C. Gli esemplari analizzati, per i quali si propone una diversificazione tipologica su base decorativa, sono per lo più prodotti localmente, mentre i restanti sono di importazione (in modo prevalente da altri centri dell’Egitto). Pur condizionato dalla scarsità di dati a disposizione, lo studio di questa collezione costituisce pertanto una base di rilievo per il riscontro dei commerci attivi ad Antinoupolis in epoca pre-islamica.
