Diarium Europaeum (Latin for 'Journal of Europe') was a journal of history and current affairs founded by Martin Meyer, who wrote under the name Philemerus Irenicus Elisius. It was published between 1659 and 1683 in 45 volumes, and later renamed Allgemeine Schau-Bühne der Welt (German for 'Theatre of the World').[1] Wilhelm Serlin served as publisher from the journal's inception until Serlin's death.[1]
