Bob has indicated that he views notes as equivalent to what one writes in the margins of your Bible. Thanks to Brown's blog I can agree!!
"Here are some of the items that will go in my margins:
- Notes – Black pen
- Topical heading for chain references (similar to Thompson) – Blue pen
- Chain References (similar to Thompson) – Red pen
- Parallel passages
- Translation notes, variant readings – (maybe in green)
- Definitions – English, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic (including terms like monotheism, eschatology, etc)
- Chapter headings
- Subject headings
- Fulfilled prophecies

- Time chart, timeline
- Alleged scientific mistakes

- Updated names (Esias = Isaiah, Noe = Noah, etc)

I'd post a picture of myself gloating but that wouldn't be very nice, would it?
