In a stricter sense the Lectionary or Lectionarium, also known as Comes, Liber comitis, Liber comicus (from comes, companion), is a liturgical book containing the daily lessons from a series from the Bible in the Old Testament, the Epistles from the New Testament, and portions of the Gospels to be read throughout the year in a church service. Often, the sermon is based on the passages that were just read.
