This lectionary, representing the Hispano-Mozarabic tradition, dates to 1067 AD. Email correspondence with the very helpful and informative Miguel-Ramón García has taught me that the Hispano-Mozarabic tradition is still very much alive in Spain, where this lectionary is referred to as the “Liber Commicus” and is included in the current Missale Hispano-Mozarabicum. Another intriguing fact is that the Hispano-Mozarabic lectionary tradition is that of a two-year cycle, with the lectionary presented below representing the A/even years (dating from the first Sunday of Advent). As the chart below only currently presents the readings included in the manuscript of 1067 edited by Dom Morin, please keep in mind that there is more to the tradition than in presented here.
The texts of the pericopes included in the Liber Comicus are also important in New Testament textual criticism, where this witness bears the designation t or 58, and preserves an Old Latin text in its readings from Acts, the Catholic and Pauline epistles, and Revelation. See Bruce M. Metzger, The Early Versions of the New Testament (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1977), 304.
For an interesting article dealing with the term “Liber Comicus,” and the question of one or two letters “m” belonging in the second word of its name, see: Baldwin, Spurgeon. “On the meaning of the term ‘Liber Commicus.'” Traditio 39 (1983): 439-443. I use “Comicus” here only because Dom Morin did so for the edition which was my source.
