Catalogo ragionato di una collezione di Scarabei-Sigillo Egizi
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
Another interesting cryptographic writing of Imun
At the top is the winged sun with uraeii and at the sides a pair of anx and nfr signs. At the botton the basket neb sign. Despite the cartouche, not the name of a king (there is a king Raneferef of 5th Dyn.) In this case, the sign for town (niwt) fills in for the sun sign (it happens frequently) and gives a cryptographic writing of the name of Amen. The acrophony, I from itn (the sun disc), m from mt (artery, the nfr sign) and n from nb gives: Imn . Another reading could be: “Re is perfect”, but this is not certain.
