Description and Table of Contents

Description

In his work "Libraries", Diodor presents the entire history from the beginning of mankind to his own time, looking at the whole known world. Mario Baumann's investigation taps into this claim of a "narrative of the world" in two ways: On the one hand, he singles out books 1-5 as a theme from the preserved parts of the "libraries", which, as in a great exposition, present the world as a space of history. On the other hand, he puts the narrative style of the work at the center of his analysis and shows how the reading of the text still enjoys today.
