Notes
One unpublished bibliography of studies of this genre, restricted to the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, contains over three hundred entries and continues to grow rapidly.
Rhetoric iii.9, translation of W. Rhys Roberts.
John L. Myres (1953).Herodotus: Father of History (Clarendon Press, Oxford) 89–134. In fairness to Aristotle, we should note that his immediate concern in contrasting the periodic and free-running styles was with periods short enough to be delivered orally in a single breath. But his definition of the free-running style is not restricted to oral presentations, as his reference to Herodotus shows.
Some preliminary attempts to synthesize such grammars for biblical material include S. Bar-Efrat (1980). Some observations on the analysis of structure in biblical narratives,Vetus Testamentum 30, 154–173; E. Galibiati (1956).La Struttura Letteraria dell'Esodo (Scrinium Theologicum III, Edizioni Paoline, Rome) 16–51; W.L. Holladay (1966). The recovery of poetic passages of Jeremiah,J. Biblical Literature 85, 401–435, especially “Theoretical Framework”, 406–412; N.W. Lund (1942).Chiasmus in the New Testament (University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill), especially his “seven laws” on pages 40–47; H. Van Dyke Parunak (1979).Structural Studies in Ezekiel (University Microfilms, Ann Arbor) 58–108.

Depending on the number and distribution of occurrences of the target word for each plot, these tables often do not fit on the same physical output page as the graphical display. For illustrative purposes, we have reproduced only the first page of each of our plots in this study. Thus, except in the plot for “righteous”, only a portion of the tables appears in the figures.
That is, only 5% or less of the clusters observed on a comparable randomly generated plot would be as narrow as the cluster under discussion, and only 5% or less of the gaps would be as wide as the gap under discussion.
