Всё верно:

# Caesar's conquest 48 BC;
# The attack of Aurelian in the 3rd century;
# The decree of Theophilus in 391;
# The Muslim conquest in 642 or thereafter.

The fourth episode ___was not documented by __any__ contemporary source, 
although __some__ maintain that the final destruction of the Library took 
place at this time.
...
As Theon, the distinguished mathematician and father of Hypatia, herself a 
renowned scholar, __was the last recorded scholar-member__ (c. 380), it is 
likely that the Mouseion ___did not long survive the promulgation of 
Theodosius' decree in 391__ to destroy __all pagan__ temples in the City.

И что касается 4-го случая («Several historians told» !)
However the legend has been dismissed by some as a later invention of 
Christian crusaders eager to justify the "barbarism" of Muslim armies.

The errors in the sources are obvious and the story itself is almost wholly 
incredible.
... Agreeing with Gibbon this time, we can dismiss it as a legend.


Так как у нас называется выпячивание одних __версий__ при полном умалчивании 
других __событий__? Культурной интеллигентной беседой?
