===Chapters of the Bible=== Classically, scrolls of the books of the [[Bible]] have always been divided by blank spaces at the end (''petuhoth'') or middle (''setumoth'') of the lines. However, Langton is believed<ref name=Moore>Moore, G.F. [https://www.jstor.org/pss/3259119 The Vulgate Chapters and Numbered Verses in the Hebrew Bible], 1893, at [[JSTOR]].</ref> to be the one who divided the Bible into the standard modern arrangement of [[Chapters and verses of the Bible|chapters]]. While Cardinal [[Hugh of St Cher|Hugo de Sancto Caro]] is also known to have come up with a systematic division of the Bible (between 1244 and 1248), it is Langton's arrangement of the chapters that remains in use today.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07175a.htm Hebrew Bible] article in the ''[[Catholic Encyclopedia]]''.</ref>
