In so doing they offer exciting new insights into the Bibliotheke and the development of Greek historiography, which in turn also shed important new light on the old question of Diodoros’ value as a source. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=EN-US> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=EN-US>The table of contents can be consulted at </span></span><a href="http://www.peeters-leuven.be/boekoverz.asp?nr=10535"><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=EN-US>http://www.peeters-leuven.be/boekoverz.asp?nr=10535</span></span><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'></span></a><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=EN-US>.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=EN-US> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE>Best wishes,</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE>Lisa, Brian and Alexander</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE style='mso-fareast-language:NL'> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>_________________</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>Dr. Alexander Meeus</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>Akademischer Rat</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE style='mso-fareast-language:NL'> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>Universität Mannheim</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>Historisches Institut</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=DE style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>Lehrstuhl für Alte Geschichte</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=NL style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>L 7,7 - Raum 002</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=NL style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>68161 Mannheim</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=NL style='mso-fareast-language:NL'> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><span lang=NL style='mso-fareast-language:NL'>Tel.: 0621/181-2154</span><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
