guessing here but would it be something like biblios (in greek letters of course)? Or does that just mean book?

Biblios means book. Will try and remember greek for bible. Hang on.

Any good dictionary will explain that the word Bible is derived from the Greek word biblia (neuter plural), which means "books". As the collections of Jewish and Christian texts came increasingly to be considered as one unit, the term in Latin began to be understood as feminine singular, denoting "The Book". The same word has come through to Modern English in words like bibliography. So when the title Bible, the book, was used, it denoted a collection of writings or books of the Christian and Jewish Scriptures.

Thanks tillyrose and Snorkle.

Believe it or not my dd did this post while I was out-- I just got back and she told me she'd used mumsnet for her homework! This is because last weekend I did a post on her behalf requesting some weblink info.

Love the fact that she has come to trust and rely on mn as much as her mother. And yet am thinking I must change my password.

Thank you for helping her out ladies. xx
