Ordering Textual Knowledge in Late Antiquity
Matthew R. Crawford
Reviews and Awards
"A book covering a rare crossover if an information technology from one domain to another in antiquity" -- New Testament Abstracts
"Crawford has written a splendid and erudite book about Eusebius's Canon Tables, an oft-neglected feature of ancient gospel manuscripts." -- Jean-François Racine, Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University and the Graduate Theological Union, Review of Biblical Literature
"The 52 high-resolution photographs of ancient texts and images result in a book so beautiful that readers will be hesitant to highlight the text or add notes in the margin. It breaks new ground in several areas that will be helpful even to scholars who have done extensive work with the canon tables... it is an indispensable guide to any scholarly study of the Eusebian canon tables." -- Charles L. Quarles, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Southeastern Theological Review
"This book will become the launching pad for all studies of the Canon Tables for many years to come. Crawford is adept both at working through complicated and detailed material, and then laying out clearly and simply for the reader as well as at providing the big-picture overview." -- Michael Klaassen, St. Paul University, St. Timothy's Classical Academy, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"Meticulously documented and richly illustrated, [Crawford]'s book on the Eusebian Canon Tables represents a milestone of scholarship, the touchstone for all future studies on the topic." -- James W. Barker, Western Kentucky University, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly
