Coogan is absolutely right that most studies of the Gospels do not understand or are ignorant of the potential value of Eusbeius's innovative technologies for Gospel reading. While the canons/tables are in the preface to the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, I confess that their usage and significance has remained opaque and largely unexplained to me. Coogan's excellently argued and clearly written study can go a long way toward remedying my (and others, should they share them) deficiencies in this area.
