In rhetoric, a pericope (; Greek language περικοπή, "a cutting-out") is a set of verses that forms one coherent unit or thought, suitable for public reading from a text, now usually of sacred scripture.
—often illuminated—called pericopes, are normally evangeliaries, that is, abbreviated only containing the sections of the required for the Masses of the liturgical year. Notable examples, both Ottonian art, are the Pericopes of Henry II and the Salzburg Pericopes.
Lectionary are normally made up of pericopes containing the Epistle and Gospel readings for the liturgical year. A pericope consisting of passages from different parts of a single book, or from different books of the Bible, and linked together into a single reading is called a or composite reading.
