About the Book

English summary: This volume collects the most important and most numerous parts of Books XXVII-XXXII, which cover the events from after Hannibal's return to Africa, to the end of the Punic Wars, up to the destruction of Carthage and Corinth in 146-145 BC. It is an important moment in Mediterranean history - Rome overthrows Seleucid dominance in Asia, thus destroying the Macedonian and Carthaginian empires. French text. French description: Le tome III des Fragments de la Bibliotheque historique de Diodore de Sicile reunit les restes precieux et relativement nombreux des livres XXVII-XXXII. Les fragments proprement dits nous sont parvenu par le canal des Extraits constantiniens (dont ne subsistent que quatre volumes). Ces Extraits ont preserve soit des sentences morales sorties de leur contexte, soit des anecdotes, soit encore des episodes historiques de quelque ampleur. S'y ajoutent des temoignages indirects tires d'auteurs byzantins qui resument Diodore, comme Photius, ou en tirent la matiere de leurs propres chroniques, comme Georges le Syncelle. Les livres XXVII-XXXII couvrent trois quarts de siecle, depuis le retour d'Hannibal en Afrique a la fin de la IIe guerre punique jusqu'a la destruction de Carthage et de Corinthe en 146/5 av. J.-C. C'est un moment important de l'histoire mediterraneenne puisque Rome abat la puissance seleucide en Asie, detruit le royaume de Macedoine et l'empire de Carthage et, a l'autre bout de la Mediterranee, reduit les Celtiberes et les Lusitaniens. Il est admis que ces livres derivent de Polybe. C'est en partie vrai, mais l'examen des textes reedites par nos soins montre que l'influence de Polybe est indiscernable dans les livres XXVII-XXVIII. Pour les livres XXIX-XXXII, des concordances apparaissent certes entre Polybe et Diodore, mais on constate aussi que celui-ci resume son modele en l'adaptant a son propre dessein et n'hesite pas a modifier en la rajeunissant son interpretation des evenements. Dans certains cas, il dit meme autre chose que son modele suppose, ce qui oblige a nuancer l'opinion recue. Pour toute cette periode de l'histoire et tout particulierement pour les decennies ou Tite-Live fait defaut, ces fragments constituent une source de valeur en depit de son caractere incomplet. Il importait donc d'en donner une edition moderne accompagnee d'analyses et de notes historiques, en faisant apparaitre, comme nous l'avions fait pour le tome III paru en 2006, le degre de fiabilite des textes, revises et corriges de maniere a les rendre intelligibles.
