Extract

It was in 1923 that Professor Plooy directed inquiry on the text of the Diatessaron into new channels. He pointed to the value of the various forms of Het Leven van Jezus in medieval Dutch MSS. and proved conclusively that here we have an offshoot of Tatian's Diatessaron. He thereby made it plausible that its origin goes back to a Syriac form.1
