The Gospel Book, formally called the Book of the Gospel in the Roman Catholic Church, is a codex or bound volume containing one or more of the four Gospels of the Christian New Testament. In the Middle Ages, the production of copies of the Bible in its entirety was rare. Individual books or collections of books were produced for specific purposes. Gospel Books were produced for private study or for ceremonial purposes. Many of these volumes were elaborate. Gospel books often contained, in addition to the text of the Gospels themselves, supporting texts including Canon Tables, summaries, glossaries, and other explanatory material.
