Jefferson also agrees with the arbitraryness of the term bible.

I jokingly call one on my Envi Sci textbooks "the bible" because it is a compilation of 3 other books with no index.

"Jefferson was a self-taught architect who learned the art by studying books on the subject. He particularly admired the work of the Renaissance Italian Andrea Palladio, whose Four Books of Architecture Jefferson reportedly referred to as "the Bible."" Found this on the Monticello website here.
