About this title

Synopsis

This is an English translation of the Arabic version of Tatian's Diatessaron. What Tatian was attempting to do was write a single life of Christ by piecing together parts of all four canonical gospels. In this volume, Hill has provided an introduction to the Diatessaron, the translation with notes, marginal references to the sources for each verse, and notes on the Borgian manuscript.
