Eusebius The Evangelist by Michael D. Coogan

Rewriting the Fourfold Gospel in Late Antiquity

A study of how late antique editorial and paratextual innovations—especially the canon tables and sectional divisions—reconfigured the fourfold Gospel into an interconnected, navigable whole. It examines the design and visual layout of these tools, the reading practices they enabled, and their dissemination across languages and manuscript cultures, showing how material formats, cross-references, and information management reshaped interpretation, liturgy, and devotion.
