I could be wrong, but I think that in the Apostolic Churches, (Church of the East, Eastern Orthodox, Coptic, and Roman Catholic) they always have had The Four Gospels as a separate volume, with Acts including the three letters of James, Peter, and John, as a separate volume, and then the 14 Letters of Paul. These are read from during the liturgy, with The Gospels always being read after the other books/letters are read from. The Old Testament is also read from in a separate volume...which is always read from 1st, then the Apostolic letters, then the Gospels at set time during the liturgical
service.
