A sacred or liturgical text in early Christian churches containing the gospels or evangelical readings for church services.
From Latin ecclesiastical terms derived from 'evangelium' (gospel) plus '-arium' (a place or thing associated with something). A technical term from medieval Christian tradition.
The suffix '-arium' means 'a place for' something—like aquarium (place for water), so an evangelistarium was literally 'a container/book for gospels,' showing how medieval Latin built words like logical construction kits.
