The Creation of Christ: An Outline of the Beginnings of Christianity, by P. L. Couchoud

I just read this book (written some time in the 19th or early 20th century). It claims that the Synoptic Gospels are based on an earlier gospel written by this guy called Marcion. Marcion's gospel is definitely similar to the latter ones, but has some important differences, such as Christ simply descending from heaven to begin his earthly ministry instead of being born of a virgin.

At any rate, I was just wondering if someone with a bit more knowledge of this type of history could tell me if Marcion's gospel was the first one, or if it actually came after the Gospel of Luke, which is what I read when I googled it.

Thank you.
