| Classification Guide | |
| Date: | Each entry is keyed to a date. Necessary modifications are made as follows: |
| 1582 | A date standing alone refers to the date on the general title page. |
| 1609-10: | In editions with multiple title pages, the dates of the earliest & latest are cited. |
| 1882(c): | When there is no dated title page, next preference is given to the copyright date. When there are multiple copyright dates, the latest is cited. |
| 1820(i): | In the absence of a dated title page or a copyright date, next preference is given to the Imprimatur date. In the case of multiple imprimaturs, the latest is cited |
| 1817(x): | If there is no dated title page, and no copyright or Imprimatur date, the latest date appearing elsewhere int the edition, such as on a plate, or a piece of introductory material, is cited. |
| 1819(a): | If the edition is completely undated, but a specific date is mentioned in standard bibliographical sources, that date is cited |
| 1860(+): | If the edition is undated, or has dates that may be misleading, but there is internal evidence of an early parameter, that date is cited. A minus sign indicates the date is a late parameter. |

1824 NT Title |
Qualifiers are often added in smaller type. In this case the general title is uandted, but there is a dated New Testament title. The New Testament title date is also included as a qualifier when it is earlier than the general title date. |
| Definitions | |
| Version: | The word Version refers to a direct translation into English of a Biblical text from Antiquity. |
| Revision: | For the purpose of this compilation, a Revision is any change or correction to a previously translated English text, regardless of the extent of the change or correction. |
| Pagination: | After 1800, the pagination is added in parentheses at the beginning of each Bible entry for quick correlation with previous and/or later editions. |
| Entitled: | In the case of abridgments, paraphrases, commentaries, and harmonies, the separate title of the edition is included in the description. |
| Haydock: | Due to the large number of editions that include commentary by Father George Leo Haydock (1774-1849), a separate classification system was developed for that series based on the standard pagination of different editions: Haydock 1 through Haydock 8. |
