The Four Gospels (800) - Page 22

A Canon Table from a Syriac Gospel manuscript. The page features an architectural frame consisting of four slender columns supporting three rounded arches. The columns are decorated with geometric patterns. The capitals and bases are highlighted in red and gold. Within the three intercolumnar spaces are vertical lists of Eusebian canon numbers written in Syriac Estrangelo script. To the left of the architectural structure is a standing figure, likely the Virgin Mary or a holy woman, depicted in profile. To the right is a seated winged figure, likely an angel, with a hand raised in a gesture of blessing or speech. Above the arches is a line of Syriac text. A decorative knot-work medallion appears at the bottom center.

The Third Canon, containing three evangelists.

original: "ܕܩܢܘܢܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ. ܕܒܗ ܬܠܬܐ ܡܒܣܪܢܐ." The term "evangelists" here refers to the Gospel writers Matthew, Luke, and John, who are being compared in this specific table.
