English term or phrase: lay a claim
In the Canon, the Christian Gospels were divided into ten sections each,
with tables listing all passages in one Gospel that had parallel incidents
in
the others, first across all four Gospels, then those appearing only in three,
then in two. In the text, inset numbers allowed cross-referencing
to the
other Gospels. Instead of four separate books, Eusebius had created one,
with a complex web of links running across and in between its parts. The
tables from the Canon would become standard accompaniments to biblical
manuscripts throughout the Middle Ages; they appeared at the front,
usually separated out from each other by elaborately painted columns
and arches. They were one of the earliest elements in the medieval book
to receive illuminated decoration. Eusebius also wrote a Church history,
acclaimed by scholars as the first to introduce evidence based upon quotation.
No library in the later Middle Ages could LAY A CLAIM TO GREATNESS
without owning his works.
