Relating to or serving as a collection of evangelical or gospel writings; a book or archive of evangelical texts.
From 'evangelist' plus '-ary' (relating to or pertaining to). A rare ecclesiastical term that parallels similar formations like 'bestiary' or 'bestiarium'.
English loves creating '-ary' words from professions—we have 'literary' from 'literature,' 'military' from 'miles' (soldier), so 'evangelistary' fits a perfect pattern, even if nobody uses it anymore!
