The publication of his monumental Fragments of Greek Historians began in 1841, after his death. Volume 1 contains histories by Hecataeus, Charon of Lampascus, and Apollodorus of Athens.Karl M?ller (18131894) published two standard works, Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum and Geographi Graeci Minores, which have never been superseded, but very little is known about his life, and he is frequently confused with Carl Otfried M?ller, another great German classicist of the nineteenth century. Born near Hannover, Karl and his brother and collaborator Theodor both studied at the University of G?ttingen, but both left Germany in 1839, probably for political reasons. They moved to Paris, where Fragmenta was produced in partnership with the printerpublisher Ambroise Firmin-Didot between 1841 and 1872. It covers histories which have been lost, but of which fragments survive in other works. Volume 1 contains histories by Hecataeus of Miletus, Charon of Lampsacus, and Apollodorus of Athens, which had been previously published by Klausen in 1831. The Appendix is a French transcription of the Greek inscription on the Rosetta Stone.Praefatio; De vita et scriptis auctorum, quorum fragmenta hoc volumine comprehenduntur; Hecataei fragmenta; Charonis fragmenta; Xanthi fragmenta; Hellanici fragmenta; Pherecydis fragmenta; Acusilai fragmenta; Apollodori bibliothecae; Antiochi fragmenta; Philisti fragmenta; Timaei fragmenta; Ephori fragmenta; Theopompi fragmenta; Phylarchi fragmenta; Clitodemi fragmenta; Phanodemi fragmenta; AlÔ
