PETERSEN, WILLIAM L. Tatian’s Diatessaron: Its Creation, Dissemination, Significance, and History in Scholarship.

* This study is the first comprehensive treatment of the Diatessaron in more than a century. After sketching the second-century setting and Tatian’s biography, it describes virtually every Diatessaronic witness and provides a scholar-by-scholar summary of research from 546 to the present. Criteria for reconstructing Diatessaronic readings are developed, and numerous examples offer the reader first-hand experience with the witnesses. It contains the first Bibliography of research on the Diatessaron (600+ titles) and the first Catalogue of Manuscripts of Diatessaronic Witnesses and Related Works ever published.
