The so-called 'Canon Tables' of the Christian Gospels are an
absolutely remarkable feature of the early, late antique, and
medieval Christian manuscript cultures of East and West, the
invention of which is commonly attributed to Eusebius and dated to
first decades of the fourth century AD. Intended to host a
technical device for structuring, organizing, and navigating the
Four Gospels united in a single codex - and, in doing so, building
upon and bringing to completion previous endeavours - the Canon
Tables were apparently from the beginning a highly complex
combination of text, numbers and images, that became an integral
and fixed part of all the manuscripts containing the Four Gospels
as Sacred Scripture of the Christians and can be seen as exemplary
for the formation, development and spreading of a specific
Christian manuscript culture across East and West AD 300 and 800.
In the footsteps of Carl Nordenfalk's masterly publication of 1938
and few following contributions, this book offers an updated
overview on the topic of 'Canon Tables' in a comparative
perspective and with a precise look at their context of origin,
their visual appearance, their meaning, function and their usage in
different times, domains, and cultures.
