I’m very happy to report that my colleague Dr. Mina Monier has been awarded funding from the Research Council of Norway for a four-year project examining gospel harmonies, texts that weave together the narratives of the four canonical gospels. The project, Unconventional Gospels, will focus on the understudied gospel harmonies of eastern Christian churches.

Monier is the founder and head of the MF Lab for Manuscript Studies and Digital Research (MF L-MaSDR). He has already been doing some exciting work on the Arabic Diatessaron over the last couple years:

• Tatian and the Arabic Diatessaron: Mark’s Ending as a Case Study
• The History of the Arabic Diatessaron: Codicological Evidence
• Tatian’s Diatessaron: The Arabic Version, the Dura Europos Fragment, and the Women Witnesses

We are very much looking forward to the commencement of this new project!
