The list is divided into three main sections: citations of the Bible, of Classical authors, where the title of the work and the specific edition used are often uncertain, and of contemporary texts. A fourth section lists citations of unidentified works. [2023] Identifications of a few of these works have now been added.
Linked cross-references to the citing passage are included; unlinked references with a subject heading, e.g.((II) 2: Heathen Gods), refer to books or chapters of the Academy of Armory that are not included in this edition.
