About the Book

English summary: This fourth and final tome of Diodorus Siculuss Bibliotheca Historica follows the history of Rome from 145 BCE to 60 BCE. This compilation of fragments includes events and political developments of Rome, as well as Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt. This new edition of these essential texts allows for a nuanced understanding of Dioroduss personal interpretation of the events of this era, an interpretation from the point of view of one of the more conservative Romans. French description: Le tome IV et dernier des Fragments de Diodore prend la suite du tome III, qui contenait les fragments des livres XXVII a XXXII et s'arretait en 145 av. J.-C. Apres la prise de Carthage et la destruction de Corinthe par les Romains, la mort simultanee du roi de Syrie Alexandre I Balas et du roi d'Egypte Ptolemee VI marquait pour les dernieres monarchies hellenistiques le debut d'un declin rapide et, pour les Romains, le commencement des luttes sociales et des guerres civiles. En huit livres, Diodore avait couvert environ 80 ans, puisque le terme de laBibliotheque Historique doit etre fixe en 61/60 av. J.-C. Le recit devait etre tres detaille, chaque livre couvrant une dizaine d'annees. Les fragments conserves, d'inegale longueur et d'inegale valeur (on peut legitimement douter de l'authenticite de certains), donnent une idee du travail de synthese accompli par Diodore qui, tout en accordant une grande attention aux res Romanae, ne perdait pas de vue l'evolution de la situation en Asie Mineure, en Syrie et en Egypte. Meme s'il ne s'agit que de " debris ", les fragments transmis par les collections constantiniennes ou les resumes donnes par le patriarche Photios sont d'une valeur inestimable, car ils constituent parfois pour l'historien moderne la seule ou au moins la principale source d'information encore disponible. C'est le cas par exemples des deux guerres serviles qui desolerent la Sicile ou encore de la guerre dite " sociale ", livree par les Romains a leurs allies italiens. Il etait indispensable de donner une edition neuve de ces textes en essayant de retrouver, livre par livre, les intentions d'un auteur qui, loin d'etre un simple compilateur, avait tente de donner une interpretation personnelle d'evenements appartenant a ce qui etait pour lui de l' histoire " contemporaine ". Il est clair que pour lui Pompee le Grand etait le point d'aboutissement de l'Histoire Universelle et qu'il avait adopte le point de vue des Romains les plus conservateurs, sans que l'on sache toutefois quel etait le " patron " de ce Grec de Sicile installe a Rome.
