Torrey's *Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge* (ca. 1880), a Victorian-era evangelical reference work in the tradition of exhaustive scripture-indexing tools. It covers Ezekiel 28, organizing the chapter into four sections: God's judgment on the proud prince of Tyre, a lamentation over that ruler's fall from glory, a parallel judgment on Sidon, and a closing promise of Israel's restoration. The work's substance is almost entirely chains of parallel scripture citations \u2014 hundreds of cross-references keyed to individual phrases \u2014 rather than prose commentary, functioning as a map of biblical intertextuality for preachers and students. Sparse prose notes do appear, including a historically grounded identification of the prince of Tyre as Ithobal, drawn from Josephus's citation of Phoenician annals. The passage on the king's pre-fall splendor (\"in Eden,\" the \"anointed cherub,\" perfection until iniquity) is theologically loaded territory \u2014 traditionally read by many interpreters as also depicting the fall of Satan \u2014 though Torrey's cross-references treat it primarily as prophetic address to a human ruler, connecting the pride motif through Daniel, Isaiah 14, and 2 Thessalonians. Readers who want interpretive argument or historical analysis will not find it here; the work rewards those who want a dense network of scriptural parallels to trace across the whole Bible.","tags":["Cross-Reference Bible Notes","R.A.
