I’m still trying to deal with the revelation that one old word for a lectionary was “Liber comicus”. I mean, I know they mean comicus from “comes”, but the temptation to make jokes about comic books is overwhelming!

Interesting point. I’d never thought about it.

Holdonasecond. Origen, in his homilies on Ezekiel, made his selection of subject-passages in accordance with an already existing lectionary arrangement?

How likely is it, would you estimate, that any congregation in the 200’s would have a lectionary-system for the OT but not for the Gospels?

Yours in Christ,
