NOTES on this Page:
- The small letters in the margins are cross references.
The Great Bible had no Marginal Notes, just references to other related Scripture.
-
Although you can see that Scripture is divided into paragraphs, note that there are no
verse numbers. Each chapter was divided lettered sections, each about 4 to 8 verses long. These are called
"lecterns." Each chapter started with "Lectern A" and, depending on the length of the chapter,
would end somehwere around Lectern E or F.
You can see these letters in the margins. This page
contains Matthew 19:d through Matthew 21:a. It was not a handy way to refer to scripture.
(Our Closeup View shows this better.)
