Abstract
Wallraff examines the canon tables of the gospels, composed by Eusebius of Caesarea in the first half of the fourth century CE, as a new form of synopsis: a list in three dimensions which uses both the extension (length and breadth) of a page in a codex, and the hypertextuality within the codex (intratextual references back and forth). In the antique culture of the book, this system raises the list to a new level of complexity. Given the extraordinary success of the device (with many hundreds of extant copies in numerous languages), the impact on viewing habits and textual practices was enormous.
