The Editions Compared

Notes

↑ 1. Copyright page, Dake's Annotated Reference Bible: "(c) Copyright 1963 by Finis Jennings Dake"; "New Testament portion (with Daniel, Psalms and Proverbs) (c) Copyright 1961"; "Large Note Edition / First Printing — August 1979." Read by eye at four times magnification and transcribed in full in Chapter 20, note 10. The volume's Contents page places Acts at N.T. 122 and Romans at N.T. 160, which ties its page numbers to the rest of this table.

↑ 2. Edition-labeling convention. No dated title page or copyright page of either setting is resident in the source library for this book beyond the 1979 volume. Pre-1988 material is labeled "pre-1988 printing (edition established by the presence of the N.T. p. 159 note)," and the later material is labeled "newer typeset edition (dual-pagination resetting); printing and year to be confirmed." Finis Jennings Dake, Dake's Annotated Reference Bible (Lawrenceville, GA: Dake Bible Sales), editions as described.

↑ 3. On the witnesses and how they were read. Each source archive named in this appendix is a multi-page collection of page photographs, one image and one machine-read text file per page. The machine-read text is a finding aid only. Readings quoted here were checked against the page image itself wherever the wording is load-bearing; where a reading rests on the archive's machine text and eye confirmation is still pending, the footnote for that row says so. All archives cited are resident in the Study Bible source library ("Dake Study Bible Sources 2"), confirmed present at drafting.

↑ 4. Same edition, N.T. p. 159; running head "NOTES ON ACTS OF THE APOSTLES CONTINUED 159." Four distinct photographs of this page are resident in the Study Bible library (09_...pdf pages 5, 6, and 7, where 6 and 7 are the same shot; 10_...pdf page 1; 12_...pdf page 3), and five further photographs are resident in the full library. The running head and the note's heading were read directly from the image. The complete verbatim transcription, with every reading that required comparing photographs, is in Appendix B.

↑ 5. Scan of N.T. p. 159 identified by its supplier as a 1965 printing. Neither the page nor its margins carry a date. Transcribed in Appendix B.

↑ 6. Scan of N.T. p. 159 identified by its supplier as a 1976 printing. The two spellings that differ from the earlier scan are "descendants" for "descendents" at reasons 4, 7 and 10, and a corrected long word at reason 25; both are recorded in Appendix B. Someone proofread this note between the two press runs. That is worth holding beside everything that follows.

↑ 7. Dake, Dake's Annotated Reference Bible, pre-1988 printing, N.T. p. 144, note c on Acts 17:26; running head "144 THE ACTS 17 Paul at Athens Paul goes to Corinth." Transcribed from a photograph, 09_Dake_Annotated_Study_Bible_Verses_on_Segregation_recognized.pdf, internal page 4. Read directly from the image at high magnification. The archive's machine-read text renders the page number as "155"; the photograph reads "159." The photograph governs.

↑ 8. The pre-1988 cross-references are documented row by row in the second table below, with their archive and page for each. See notes 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 19.

↑ 9. The 1979 volume supplies the copyright page, the Contents page, the preface, N.T. p. 144, four Cyclopedic Index pages, and roughly fifty Old Testament and New Testament note pages. Its p. 159 is not among the images; the note's presence in this volume is established from its own index and its own Acts 17 pointer, which is a weaker witness than a photograph and a sufficient one. The individual notes are quoted, with their confidences, in Chapter 20.

↑ 10. Collated line by line against the transcription in Appendix B. The heading and reasons 1 to 5 and 14 to 22 were read by eye at six times magnification; the rest rest on machine reading at word-level confidence, with eye confirmation outstanding.

↑ 11. Scan of N.T. p. 159 identified by its supplier as a 1990 printing. Running head "NOTES ON ACTS OF THE APOSTLES CONTINUED" with the page number 159. No date appears on the page. The year is carried here as a label, and nothing in this appendix depends on it: the row's place in the sequence is fixed by content, since it is the original list reworded.

↑ 12. Dake, Dake's Annotated Reference Bible, newer typeset edition, p. 251, note c on Acts 17:26; running head "Paul goes to Corinth THE ACTS 17 251." Transcribed from a photograph, Dakes_annotated_reference_Bible_Godhead_New_Version.pdf, internal page 26; the identical page is also resident at Dakes_annotated_reference_Bible__Omnis.pdf, internal page 37. Read directly from the image at high magnification. The quoted line is the entire note. The page is matched to classic N.T. p. 144 by content: the same verses, the same lettered notes in the same order.

↑ 13. Same edition, p. 275; running head "THE ACTS NOTES CONTINUED (158-159) 275." Transcribed from a photograph, Dakes_Bible_PreAdamite.pdf, internal page 60. The dual running head is the edition evidence: it places the notes of classic pp. 158 and 159 on newer p. 275.

↑ 14. Newer typeset edition, Concordance and Cyclopedic Index p. 124, from a photograph, Dake_Study_Bible_Invisible_New_Version.pdf, internal page 56. Text per the archive's machine-read page; eye confirmation pending at delivery.

↑ 15. Pre-1988 printing, N.T. p. 144, note h on Acts 17:29: "The Gr. word for 'offspring' here is genos. See Offspring, p. 159." Same photograph as note 3. In the classic setting both the segregation note and the "Offspring" note sat on p. 159.

↑ 16. Newer typeset edition, p. 251, note h: "The Gr. word for 'offspring' here is genos. See Offspring, p. 276." Same photograph as note 6. The "Offspring" note and the "Separation in Scripture" note now sit on facing pages, 276 and 275.

↑ 17. The numbered summary note on the Acts page reads "18 doctrines of God" in the pre-1988 printing and "18 Doctrines of God" in the newer edition. Item 6 reads "Made all men of one kind (v 26)" in both. Photographs as in notes 3 and 6. Worth recording that this item was not altered, since the word "kind" carries weight in the old note's second reason.

↑ 18. Pre-1988 printing, O.T. p. 100, note k on Exodus 33: "This is one of many scriptures proving the will of God in the complete segregation of Israel from all other nations (v 1; Num. 23:9). See 30 reasons for segregation of races, p. 159 of N.T." From a photograph, 03_Dake_Annotated_Study_Bible_Verses_on_Segregation_recognized.pdf, internal page 4; running head "100." Text per the archive's machine-read page; eye confirmation pending at delivery. The reading is corroborated independently by the index mapping in note 24.

↑ 19. Note on Exodus 33:16, O.T. p. 107 in the 1979 volume, reading in part "If You want us to be segregated from all other people, then do this for us as proof of good faith." Machine-read; eye confirmation outstanding. The page number differs from the classic p. 100 cited in the same row because the two witnesses are differently paginated volumes of the same setting; both are recorded rather than reconciled.

↑ 20. Newer typeset edition, p. 159, note k on Exodus 33: "This is one of many scriptures proving the will of God in the complete separation of Israel from all other nations (v 1; Num. 23:9). See Separation in Scripture, p. 275 of N.T." From a photograph, Dake_Study_Bible_Invisible_New_Version.pdf, internal page 6; running head "God talks with Moses EXODUS 33 159." Text per the archive's machine-read page; eye confirmation pending at delivery. A caution for readers following the numbers: this page 159 is an Old Testament page in the newer edition and has nothing to do with the New Testament p. 159 of the classic setting. The coincidence is unfortunate and worth watching for.

↑ 21. Pre-1988 printing, O.T. p. 114, running head "114 NOTES ON EXODUS CONTINUED": "10 Segregation laws (15 commands): (1) Segregation from all other people without exception (23:32-33; Dt. 7:1-6; 23:1-5). See 30 reasons for segregation of races, p. 159 of N.T." From a photograph, 04_Dake_Annotated_Study_Bible_Verses_on_Segregation_recognized.pdf, internal page 2. Machine-read text; eye confirmation pending.

↑ 22. Pre-1988 printing, O.T. p. 142, running head "142 LEVITICUS 21 Laws of the priesthood": "Segregated you from other people. See note f, 19:19; p. 159 of N.T." From a photograph, 04_...pdf, internal page 8. Machine-read text; eye confirmation pending. The note sits in the column serving the surrounding Leviticus chapters.

↑ 23. Pre-1988 printing, O.T. p. 252, running head "252 JOSHUA 23, 24 Joshua's exhortation to Israel," note l: "See 30 reasons for segregation of races, p. 159 of N.T." From a photograph, 07_Dake_Annotated_Study_Bible_Verses_on_Segregation_recognized.pdf, internal page 4. Machine-read text; eye confirmation pending. The machine read renders the page number as "2o2"; the page is identified as 252 from the archive inventory and surrounding contents.

↑ 24. Pre-1988 printing, Complete Concordance and Cyclopedic Index p. 100, running head "100 Complete Concordance - Cyclopedic Index." The entry opens "Segregation. S. in Eastern cities, e 16-1" and closes "30 reasons for s., 159*." From a photograph, 11_Dake_Annotated_Study_Bible_Verses_on_Segregation_recognized.pdf, internal page 3. Machine-read text; eye confirmation pending.

↑ 25. Newer typeset edition, index p. 124. The entry opens "Separation (26). S. of women, Lev. 12:2-5; 15:20-26" and closes "S. in Scripture, 275*." Photograph as in note 8.

↑ 26. Cyclopedic Index p. 100 in the 1979 volume, headword "Segregation," sixteen printed lines giving fifteen entries, the last running over to the head of the next column. Printed in full, with its confidences, in Chapter 20.

↑ 27. Pre-1988 printing, a further Cyclopedic Index page carrying a list of numbered notes by subject, including "Reasons for segregation, 159*" and, on the following line, "Things to preach, 159*." From a photograph, 12_Dake_Annotated_Study_Bible_Verses_on_Segregation_recognized.pdf, internal page 1. No running head is legible in this shot, so the page is cited by archive and internal page only. Machine-read text; eye confirmation pending.

↑ 28. Newer typeset edition, p. 275, the note headed "Separation in Scripture (17:26)"; photograph as in note 7. The opening paragraph was read directly from the image. The inner quotation marks around the phrases from Acts 17:26 and Genesis are the note's own. This appendix does not attribute the note's composition to any person. It appears in the newer edition at the place where the earlier note stood, and that is all the pages establish; who wrote it is a question for Chapter 22, which handles it on the documents.

↑ 29. The gap, recorded. The photographed page ends within the note's second numbered section, at item (13), "It was a sin of Jews returning from Babylon." The next page in that archive (Dakes_Bible_PreAdamite.pdf, internal page 61) is a page of 1 Corinthians notes, not the continuation. No other resident page in the library carries the rest of this note. The note is therefore never quoted here as complete, and the continuation is an open item for the author to supply.

↑ 30. What survives a revision is evidence in the same way as what does not. These four items are the ones a reader would most expect a publisher removing racial language to remove, and this printing kept all four.

↑ 31. Pre-1988 readings for reasons 9, 10, 11, 16, and 25 were cross-read across all four distinct Study Bible photographs of N.T. p. 159 named in note 4; the four machine reads agree word for word, and the canonical transcription is in Appendix B. The newer readings are from the p. 275 photograph named in note 7. The pairing above is by content, not by any numbering the newer note supplies; the newer note renumbers its material under its own headings.

↑ 32. The first two reasons of the pre-1988 note argue from the creation of the races and from the word "kind" in Genesis. Their text is transcribed in full in Appendix B and quoted in Chapter 20. Neither appears anywhere in the visible portion of the newer note. Because the newer note's ending is not in hand (note 21), this appendix reports their absence from the photographed portion and claims nothing about the unphotographed remainder.

↑ 33. The two index entries run item for item. Photographs as in notes 17 and 18. Examples of the renumbering: "Abraham's command about, o 21-4" becomes "Abraham's command about, o 32-3"; "Charge to keep s., g 26-4; r 33-1; b 33-4; k 100-1" becomes "Charge to keep s., g 39-3; r 49-3; b 49-3; k 159-3"; "12 reasons God segregated Israel, 108" becomes "12 reasons God separated Israel, 194." The mapping of "k 100-1" to "k 159-3" independently corroborates the Exodus 33 pairing in notes 12 and 13, since it moves the same lettered note from classic O.T. p. 100 to newer p. 159.

↑ 34. Surviving ordinary use: newer typeset edition, in a numbered note on the world, "10 Christians live segregated from it (Jas. 1:27; Rom. 12:2; 2 Pet. 2:20)." From a photograph, Dake_Annotated_Study_Bible___Trinity_New_Version.pdf, internal page 68. Machine-read text; eye confirmation pending. The surviving index line "Fear of integration, j 31-3" is on the index page in note 18; its pre-1988 form reads "Fear of integration, j 20-4" (note 17). The note each line points to is not resident, so this appendix describes neither.

↑ 35. No preface, edition notice, or publisher statement about these revisions is resident in the Study Bible source library. That is a statement about this library and nothing more. If such a document exists, it belongs in this appendix, and the author invites its production.

↑ 36. The newer-edition archives in this library are organized by doctrinal subject rather than by canonical order, so coverage of the Old Testament race-related pages is partial by accident of assembly, not by design. The Exodus 33 page survives in the collection only because it was filed under another subject.

↑ 37. The standing rule of this project is that image-derived quotations are transcribed by eye at magnification. Where that was not possible, the reading was taken by optical character recognition with a confidence score retained for every word, and the footnote says so. No reading in this appendix rests on memory, and none rests on the rough machine text bundled with the archives.

↑ 38. Acts 17:11, the verse the reader is finally being pointed to, praises the Bereans for checking the preacher against the Scriptures daily. Notice where that verse sits. It is in the same chapter as the note this appendix has been tracking, twelve verses earlier, and in the pre-1988 printing it is listed on the very page under discussion.
