Tatian

I need not further discuss here the statement of Epiphanius that some called Tatian's _Diatessaron_ the Gospel according to the Hebrews.

A commenter on my recent post about the Documentary Hypothesis suggested a possible analogy to the activity of the redactor of the Pentateuch, namely Tatian's Diatessaron, the first attempt to create a single life of Jesus from the four Gospels.

'Tatian's Gospel,' writes the author of _Supernatural Religion_, 'was not only called _Diatessaron_, but according to Victor of Capua, it was also called _Diapente_ ([Greek: dia pente]) "by five," a complication which shows the incorrectness of the ecclesiastical theory of its composition.'

And Tatian was a student of the great Justin Martyr – a philosopher converted to Christianity in Samaria.

If you can show me where Tatian refers to allegories regarding Jesus Christ, I'd love to see that.
