Description of Entries

The first three columns in the table indicate the book, chapter, and verse that is marked. When a range of verses is given, it means all the verses in that range are marked the same way. An asterisk indicates a note at the end of the list. The fourth column indicates markings in the verse itself; the fifth column indicates markings in the margin near the verse.

Note that this is a Geneva Bible, and that verse numbers may not always correspond with the more familiar King James version, though they will usually be close.

Key to Abbreviations

The following abbreviations are used:

Arg: Argument (at the beginning of each book)
CH: Chapter heading (at the beginning of each chapter)
N: The verse number is underlined in ink.
U: Part or all of the verse itself is underlined in ink. If only one word is underlined, this word is given in parentheses.
N/U: Both the verse number and the verse itself are underlined in ink.
A: Annotation. The text of the annotation is given in quotes. Portions in angle brackets are parts of words which have been cut away by a binder's knife, and reconstructed as accurately as possible. Where it is not clear what has been cut away, an ellipsis (...) is used.
F: A flower is drawn in the margin.
M: Part or all of a marginal note is underlined. If there is more than one marginal note for a verse and only one is underlined, the letter of the marked note is given in parentheses.
H: A pointing hand is drawn in the margin.
X: An X is drawn in the margin.
+: A cross is drawn in pencil at the beginning of the chapter.

(R) indicates that the marking is in red ink; all other markings are in black ink (except the pencil crosses noted above).
