Tatian and the Jewish Scriptures: A Textual and Philological Analysis of the Old Testament Citations in Tatian's Diatessaron‪.‬

Tatian and the Jewish Scriptures: A Textual and Philological Analysis of the Old Testament Citations in Tatian's Diatessaron, by Robert F. Shedinger. CSCO 591 (Subsidia 109). Leuven: Peeters, 2001. Pp. viii + 190. 70.00 [euro]. A dissertation submitted at Temple University (Philadelphia) in 2001, this book seeks to "demonstrate that many of [the] divergences [between the OT citations in the Greek Gospels and the OT citations in the Diatessaron] are not the result of Tatian's editorial work, but that Tatian generally took over the Old Testament citations in the form he found them in his sources." According to Shedinger, the sources used by Tatian preserve "an older form of the [OT] citation[s] ... one that is closer to the original text of the gospels" (p. 2).
