DeutschLiber Comicus
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]
