A New Testament Lectionary is a handwritten copy of a lectionary, or book of New Testament Bible readings. Lectionaries may be written in uncial or minuscule Greek letters, on parchment, papyrus, or vellum.[1][2]
New Testament lecionaries are distinct from:
- New Testament papyri
- New Testament uncials
- New Testament minuscules
List of notable lectionaries
- The numbers (#) are the now standard system of Caspar René Gregory.
- Dates are estimated to the nearest 50 year increment.
- Content generally only describes sections of the New Testament: Gospels (Gosp), The Acts of the Apostles (Acts), Pauline Epistles (Paul), and so on. Sometimes the surviving portion of a codex is so limited that specific books, chapters or even verses can be indicated. Linked articles, where they exist, generally specify content in detail, by verse.
