Review of Coogan, Eusebius the evangelist

BRYN MAYR CLASSICAL REVIEW: Eusebius the evangelist: rewriting the fourfold gospel in late antiquity.
Jeremiah Coogan, Eusebius the evangelist: rewriting the fourfold gospel in late antiquity. Cultures of reading in the ancient Mediterranean. New York: Oxford University Press, 2022. Pp. xiv, 234. ISBN 9780197580042

Review by Anna Lefteratou, University of Cambridge. al2083@cam.ac.uk

... Overall, the monograph is an excellent in-depth study of the reading innovations effectuated by Eusebius’ Canons. This is a brilliant addition to the blossoming scholarship on Eusebius, the Canon Tables, and to the Reading and Writing Cultures in Antiquity that would be of interest to Classicists and early Christianity scholars alike.
