In medieval churches and monasteries readings from the Apocalypse were associated with
Eastertide. For convenience, this text was frequently bound separately, to distinguish
it from the contents of the other main codices of liturgical readings, such as the
Evangeliaries and Epistolaries. The
Trier Apocalypse was used for such public
liturgical reading.
