History
Victor of Capua reports that he found an Old Latin harmony of the Gospels, which he recognised as following Tatian's arrangement of the Diatessaron; and substituted the Vulgate text for the Old Latin, appending the rest of the New Testament books from the standard Vulgate. St. Boniface acquired the codex and in 745 gave it to the monastic library (Abb. 61), in Fulda, where it is housed to the present day (hence the name of the codex), where it served as the source text for vernacular harmonies in Old High German, Eastern Frankish and Old Saxon.
Codex Sangallensis 56 was copied, in the 9th century, from the Diatessaron of the Codex Fuldensis. It contains also some extracts from the Acts of the Apostles.
The text of the codex was published by Ranke in 1868.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“I feel as tall as you.”
—Ellis Meredith, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 14, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
