Liber Comicus

Last updated

Liber Comicus Toletanus Teplensis (also spelled Commicus), designated by t or 56 (in Besaurion system), is the oldest known lectionary from the Iberian Peninsula, [1] dated to somewhere between the 7th and 9th centuries. [2] The Latin text of the New Testament is not of the Vulgate but of the Vetus Latina. [1] [3] "Taken in its context, liber comicus could not possibly mean a comic book ... this term is sometimes used to denote a lectionary." [4] It has some affinity with Codex Boernerianus. [5]
