The Greek Gospel are a type of text division, first attested in Late Antiquity, which divide the Gospels into sequential sections based around themes and events from the text. Each section is associated with a brief summary (or ); these titloi are placed in lists before each Gospel and as running titles in the margins.
This book traces the development of the , which soon became a permanent fixture of Byzantine Gospelbooks alongside other systems of Gospel text divisions, notably the Eusebian sections. It also studies how different aspects of the (such as their usefulness as a concordance) became prominent later in the tradition, as well as their influence on and interaction with both other paratexts and other types of literary works.
