Hi Troy,<br><br>BPBible already has a Harmony feature. It shows in a separate window from the main Bible text, and allows you to either read through the harmony like a Genbook (seeing the section header in the harmony and the separate passages in a table like in the one in your demo), or to look up a particular scriptural reference in the Harmony. You can also link the harmony to your main Bible window so it will follow where you go (so long as the verse is in the current Harmony). The ones currently included are Robertson's Harmony of the Gospels and the Composite Gospel Index.<br>
<br>I have wondered about including a feature to link into the harmony directly from the main text (like you have with the Eusebian numbers) but wondered where it would fit in. The Eusebian number display looks relatively clean and unobtrusive, but I think it is harder to display such additions appropriately when you are not using verse per line (we would default to paragraphing where the text supports it, and that would be one of the reasons we have never had a margin - space would be another).<br>
<br>Do the Eusebian numbers support a total ordering? In other words, could you theoretically scroll through chronologically from start to end of Jesus' life, or is it limited to "These three passages are linked together as describing the same event"?<br>
<br>Hope that helps,<br>Jon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 2, 2013 at 3:34 AM, Troy A. Griffitts <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:scribe@crosswire.org" target="_blank">scribe@crosswire.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Eusebian Canon Tables are numbers added by scribes to many NT manuscripts starting in the 4th century. These tables allow cross referencing a passage in the Gospels with other parallel passages in the other Gospels. There are 10 tables. The first table has verses with parallels in all 4 Gospels, the last table (X) are verses with no parallels (thus there is no lookup table X).<br>
<br>
We have the data here at the INTF and I've imported it into a SWORD module. It still has some cleanup which needs to be done, but basically here is a first look at how I'd picture this implemented in frontends:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?key=John" target="_blank">http://crosswire.org/study/<u></u>passagestudy.jsp?key=John</a><br>
<br>
Notice the number and table references on the left (or right if viewing an RtoL Bible). This display is modeled after how these numbers are displayed in the Nestle-Aland Greek NT (which is modeled after how they are written in the margins by the ancient scribes). Clicking a number will do all the canon table lookups for you and show you the harmony passages next to each other.<br>
<br>
Any comments welcome. Still cleaning things up but was far enough along to put the idea out there for frontend developers to start thinking about.<br>
