Diatessaron is a fascinating area actually.
But I think Mr Yuku has done some important work in considering whether it was actually written by Tatian at all. I do also personally prefer the idea of one continuous Gospel account. Apparently, Syrian Churches used this for ages. Does anyone know if it actually formed part of the Pshitta, in a 'Bible' form as such.
Whoever did the Diatessaron actually did a fine job in getting round the problem of parallels and the like.
