Abstract

The present invention relates to an indexing system of the Bible. The system comprises a textual content identifier (1) as a list including plurality of sequences and a plurality of tab-rates (2) comprising the printed numbers on its front surface and a ply of self-adhesive material on its rear surface. Moreover, the textual content identifier (1) includes three sequences: the first sequence is a set of Old Testament book titles, which are located next to the chapter number in the Bible, respectively; the second sequence is a set of New Testament book titles, which are located next to the chapter number in the Bible respectively and is done in a different shade/color; the third sequence is arranged between the first and the second sequences; it includes numbers in numerical order. These features of this indexing system enables convenient and quick search, fast and precise selection of the specified pages in the Bible without turning pages. With long-term use of this indexing system, the memory of a user will retain the numbers from the tab-rates (2), so the search will be much quicker.
