The thirteenth volume of Comunicazioni dell'Istituto Papirologico «G. Vitelli» is divided, as was the previous one, into three sections: 1. Editions and rieditions of texts; 2. Critical notes; 3. Chronique de lexicographie papyrologique de la vie matérielle. In the first section there are texts which are being published for the first time or which are subject to a revision and a new edition, both belonging to various collections. This section also includes the exhibition of an exceptional artefact from the Arab period, belonging to the Papyrological Institute «G. Vitelli»'s collection. The second section includes three contributions with careful palaeographic and linguistic observations on literary and documentary texts, and a fourth contribution offering an exhaustive summary of the publication state of an archive from the Institute's collection. Lastly, the third section, as consolidated by the previous volume of the Comunicazioni, collects several findings of the international research project on the lexicography of material culture (Lex.Pap.Mat.), documented in the language of papyri.

Houshold objects (instrumenta domestica) from the Insula del Menandro are used to examine decorative principles, their correlation and interaction. Ancient object design is not only an expression of a visual culture, but rather an active part of it, as the objects are associated with activities, visual perception and semantic interpretation. These objects of Roman everyday life reflect cultural knowledge, social norms, values and lifestyles. Dieses Buch zu römischen Haushaltsobjekten (instrumenta domestica) widmet sich der Komplexität und Gestaltung der vermeintlich kleinen Dinge des Alltags. Es rückt die Frage in den Fokus, wie verschiedene Gefäße, Geräte, Instrumente und Werkzeuge im Wohnkontext der pompeianischen Insula del Menandro bestimmte funktionale, semantische und ästhetische Bedürfnisse befriedigten. Die Erscheinung der Gegenstände ist das Resultat zahlreicher gestalterischer Entscheidungen, die als antikes Objektdesign verstanden werden: Wie förderten oder behinderten Objektformen eine reibungslose Verwendung? Welche Rolle spielte das Material? Wo an einem Gegenstand wurden Ornamente und Bilder angebracht und mit welcher Intention? Welche Ornamente und Bilder wurden gewählt und welche Bedeutungen konnten sie am Objekt entfalten? Das antike Objektdesign steht hier im Mittelpunkt und damit die materielle Befriedigung praktischer, ästhetischer und kommunikativer Bedürfnisse einer antiken Gesellschaft.

Memory matters. It matters because memory brings the past into the present, and opens it up to the future. But it also matters literally, because memory is mediated materially. Materiality is the stuff of memory. Meaningful objects that we love (or hate) function not only as aide-mémoire but are integral to memory. Drawing on previous scholarship on the interrelation of memory and materiality, this book applies recent theories of new materialism to explore the material dimension of memory in art and popular culture. The book's underlying premise is twofold: on the one hand, memory is performed, mediated, and stored through the material world that surrounds us; on the other hand, inanimate objects and things also have agency on their own, which affects practices of memory, as well as forgetting.

"Without exception, all people are faced with the inevitability of death, a stark fact that has immeasurably shaped societies and individual consciousness for the whole of human history. Mirrors of Passing offers a powerful window into this oldest of human preoccupations by investigating the interrelationships of death, materiality, and temporality across far-flung times and places. Stretching as far back as Ancient Egypt and Greece and moving through present-day locales as diverse as Western Europe, Central Asia, and the Arctic, each of the richly illustrated essays collected here draw on a range of disciplinary insights to explore some of the most fundamental, universal questions that confront us"--
