From the author of

 

Catalogo ragionato di una collezione di Scarabei-Sigillo Egizi
ISBN: 1841713635

 

This book, which has very rightly become  one of the core books for collectors of scarabs, is based on Franco's own collection of 430 scarabs. These, illustrated with both photgraphs and line drawings, and useful and interesting notes and references in Italian and in English,  are representative of all types made  throughout period.  The introduction, which is also in English translation, describes the use, manufacture and function of Egyptian scarabs.

There are a number of extremely interesting contributions by Franco  on archaeogate.
