 This is a collection of 
265 readily available full-text books spanning 2500 years (history, 
geography, literature, language, travel), 37 videos, 36 selected 
archaeology articles from several French academic journals including 
Mélanges de

Revue de l'Occident musulman et de la Méditerranée     (see 
persee), and 41 carefully gleaned websites on 
Carthaginian civilization and its remains. 
The selections are mostly in English and French, but occasionally in 
German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Ancient Greek, Latin, or Arabic. They 
include the Periplus of Hanno (500 BC), the Aeneid of Virgil (29-19 BC), and 
Metamorphosis of Ovidius (8 AD), classical historical works by Romans, 
Greeks or Arabs, such as Herodotus (500 BC), Appian (c.95-165 AD), 
Justin (2nd C AD), Polybius (c203-120 BC), Diodorus (1st C BC), Livius 
(59 BC - AD 17), Sallust (86-34 BC), Strabo (63 BC- 24 AD), the Wonderful Tales
of Al-Bakri (1040-1090 AD) with its French translation by the Irish 
Baron de Slane, Al-Edrisi's "Book of Roger" 
(1100-1166 AD) and its companion The Book of the Fragrant Garden
by al-Himyari (1463), Ibn Khaldun (1332-1418),
Yaqut Al-Hamawi, al-Qalaqshandi, Ibn al-Wardi, Al-Muqri, and Al-Omari, the confessions of St. Augustine (354-430 AD) and epistles of St. Cyprian (d. 258 AD), both Carthaginian natives, Middle Ages works by Leo 
Africanus (1494-1554), Ottoman Admiral Piri Reis (1465–1554 or 1555), Cervantes (1547-1616), Marmol (1520-1599), 
Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593), le Chevalier d'Arvieux (1635-1702), and 
the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493), early 18th century contacts by Western 
consuls and travelers (Grosvenor, Temple, Bruce, Playfair, etc.) in the 
Barbary Coast, with 19th century classics 
of A. Graham, A. Dumas, Baron de Slane, E. Babelon, G. 
Flaubert, G. 
de 
Maupassant, Delattre, and many others. Included are also 
the exploits of St. Louis, King of France (d. 1270 in Carthage), Emperor 
Charles Quint (16th C), and Barbarossa and his pirates, as well as their 
military duals off the shores of Carthage and Tunis. There are also 
books on the archaeology of Carthage, its art, and its settlements, and 
some rather fantastic accounts on Phoenicians and the new world, and the 
Phoenician roots of some European nations! The bulk of these books come 
from the website archive.org (universal access to human knowledge). This 
collection is not complete, and one should consult Gallica the digital service of the Bibliotheque 
nationale de France for the full-texts of classics by Ernest Renan
(Mission en Phenicie, 1864), Stephane Gsell (Histoire ancienne de 
l'Afrique du Nord, 1920), Paul Gauckler (l'Archeologie de la Tunisie, 
1896) and records of the monumental work of Louis Carton, among many collectable 
nuggets.
