At the Margins of the Renaissance: Lazarillo De Tormes and the Picaresque Art of Survival

Sample text
Doublenozzled lamp with central tube. Fine black glaze applied as on preceding, with two concentric rings of glaze on bottom; no traces of wash. Hesperia, XV, 1946, p. 332, noted under no. 336. TYPE 17 B LAMPS WITH DOTTED RIDGES AROUND RIM'S BORDERS Nos. 124-125 (and 1 other inventoried). Plates 4, 33. Ca. C. Dating based on stylistic similarities to Types 6 A and 12 A, and on the finding place of 125. This sturdy type is made of a much thicker Attic fabric and has a somewhat different profile than Type 17 A.
091m. Two joining fragments preserve part of floor and start of the wall. Fine slightly micaceousbuff Single fragment preserves bottom and small section of profile and rim. Attic clay fired gray; black glaze inside, on rim, and on upper parts of walls. TYPE 12 B LAMPS WITH FLAT RIMS AND CENTRAL CONES; RAISED BASES Nos. 76-78 (and 4 others inventoried). Plates 3, 31. Corinth: classified under Type II. , perhaps into early years of 5th century. Dating based partly on stylistic similarities to Type 19 A, partly on the dates of recently discovered examples of Type 12 B in Corinth,"8and in part on the finding places of several specimens in the Agora.
The earlier lamps in Type 16 B have low bodies and narrow rims; these may be safely limited to the first quarter of the 6th century. The later examples within this type tend to have somewhat higher bodies and slightly wider rims; these may have been gradually introduced in the very last years of the 6th century, but were no longer made after the Persian invasion. There is no sharp line of demarcation between the earlier and later examples. Some lamps fall in between, and it is only the extremes in the width of the rim that may assuredly be placed early or late within this very popular type.
