The novelty seems to be identifying the same author behind the 'pre-canonical redaction' (*Ev) and the 'Gospel of Luke'.Thus, the shape of Euangelion provides evidence to consider it as a pre-canonical redaction of the Gospel of Luke. The stylistic kinship between both redactions of the Gospel of Luke, as demonstrated by Gramaglia, allows us to conclude that both came from the same pen. These texts must have been relatively close in time. The first of them – Euangelion – reached Pontus, constituting the foundation for Marcion's religious formation. In most centers, the first redaction of the Gospel of Luke must have been relatively quickly and uncontroversially replaced by its canonical form. However, this did not happen in Pontus during Marcion's upbringing. The sources of this phenomenon can be traced to the provincial character of that center in contemporary Christianity. It is impossible to determine whether the original text of the Gospel of Luke reached Rome at all or appeared there only in its canonical form. Almost certainly, however, the final Lukean text was authoritative and read in Rome during Marcion's time.
This is connected to a Boismard-style synoptic problem solution.
Neither hypothesis seems particularly convincing.
