An unpublished Inventory of Salt's Second Egyptian Collection from the Biblioteca Labronica in Livorno

This paper will present an unpublished document, kept in the Biblioteca Labronica in Livorno, that corresponds to a list of Egyptian antiquities arrived in the free port of the Tuscan city in 1825. Thanks to a comparation with other archival data, the inventory turns out to be the Italian translation of the original catalogue of the Second Collection of Henry Salt, now in the Louvre Museum, perhaps written by the British Consul General in Egypt himself. The main aim of the article is thus to identify the objects described in the Inventario, recognizing them in the current heritage of the Parisian museum. In addition, every possible source aboutthe history of the document will be analysed.
