M. Cranwell, near Bath. Tatian wrote his ~Euangelion dia ton tessaron~ as early as the year 170. It is no longer extant, but we have some reason for believing that this Harmony had been compiled in an unfriendly spirit (Theodoret, _Haeret. Fabul._, lib. i. c. 20.). Tatian was followed by Ammonius, whose ~Harmonia~ appeared about 230; and in the next century by Eusebius and St. Ambrose, the former entitling his production o~Peri tes ton Euangelion diaphonias~, the latter _Concordia Evangelii Mattaei et Lucae_. But by far the ablest of the ancient writings on this subject is the _De Consensu Evangelistarum_ of St. Augustine. Many authors, such as Porphyry, in his ~Kata Christianon logoi~, had pointed with an air of triumph to the seeming discrepancies in the Evangelic records as an argument subversive of their claim to paramount authority ("Hoc enim solent quasi palmare suae vanitatis objicere, quod ipsi Evangelistae inter seipsos dissentiant."--Lib. i. c. 7.). In writing these objections St. Augustine had to handle nearly all the difficulties which offend the microscopic critics of the present day. His work was urged afresh upon the notice of the biblical scholar by Gerson, chancellor of the University of Paris, who died in 1429. The _Monotessaron, seu unum ex quatuor Evangeliis_ of that gifted writer will be found in Du Pin's edition of his _Works_, iv. 83. sq. Some additional information respecting Harmonies is supplied in Ebrard's _Wissenschaftliche Kritik der evangelischen Geschichte_, pp. 36. sq. Francfurt a. M., 1842. C. HARDWICK.

Herm._, part II. c. 4. s. 4.) that "The greater part of the works on the harmony of the gospels are quite useless for our times, as their authors mostly proceed on incorrect principles." He refers only to the chief of them, namely:
