Every run of seven words or more that appears both here and in another book on this shelf, merged into the longest passage they have in common. St John shares wording with 4 of the other 37. This is quotation, or a common source, or one translator doing both — not a resemblance inferred from vocabulary.

Quotation, here, means a named attribution or a commentary working through the text — not a guess from shared vocabulary.
Of the sixty counted across the shelf, the ones this book names most. A name is counted wherever it is written, whoever is speaking. Each one has a page of its own listing every chapter, in every book, that carries it.
St John shares fewer than twenty of the sixty counted names with any other book here. That is a fact about its vocabulary and nothing more; a book can be deeply indebted to another and share almost no names with it.
