pericope \puh-RIK-uh-pee\ noun 1. a selection or extract from a book. 2. a portion of sacred writing read in a divine service; lesson; lection. Quotes ...a single verse (and, in some cases, even a pericope) is too small a unit to split analytically into fragments. -- Donald Harman Akenson, Surpassing Wonder: the Invention of the Bible and the Talmuds, 1998 Origin Pericope came to Enlgish in the mid-1600s, and is ultimately derived from the Greek perikopḗ meaning "a cutting."
