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 named or notable lectionaries
- The numbers (#) are the now standard system of Caspar René Gregory.
- Dates are estimated to the nearest 50 year increment (except lectionaries dated by scribes).
- Content only the Gospel lessons (Evangelistarion), and other lessons from the rest of the NT apart from Revelation (Apostolos). 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.
