From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Type \Type\, n. [F. type; cf. It. tipo, from L. typus a figure,       image, a form, type, character, Gr.

That which possesses or exemplifies characteristic             qualities; the representative. Specifically:             (a) (Biol.) A general form or structure common to a number                   of individuals; hence, the ideal representation of a                   species, genus, or other group, combining the                   essential characteristics; an animal or plant                   possessing or exemplifying the essential                   characteristics of a species, genus, or other group.                   Also, a group or division of animals having a certain                   typical or characteristic structure of body maintained                   within the group.                               Since the time of Cuvier and Baer . . . the                            whole animal kingdom has been universally held                            to be divisible into a small number of main                            divisions or types.                     --Haeckel.             (b) (Fine Arts) The original object, or class of objects,                   scene, face, or conception, which becomes the subject                   of a copy; esp., the design on the face of a medal or                   a coin.             (c) (Chem.) A simple compound, used as a mode or pattern                   to which other compounds are conveniently regarded as                   being related, and from which they may be actually or                   theoretically derived.          Note: The fundamental types used to express the simplest and                most essential chemical relations are hydrochloric                acid, {HCl}; water, {H2O}; ammonia, {NH3}; and methane,                {CH4}.          5. (Typog.)             (a) A raised letter, figure, accent, or other character,                   cast in metal or cut in wood, used in printing.             (b) Such letters or characters, in general, or the whole                   quantity of them used in printing, spoken of                   collectively; any number or mass of such letters or                   characters, however disposed.          Note: Type are mostly made by casting type metal in a mold,                though some of the larger sizes are made from maple,                mahogany, or boxwood. In the cut, a is the body; b, the                face, or part from which the impression is taken; c,                the shoulder, or top of the body; d, the nick                (sometimes two or more are made), designed to assist                the compositor in distinguishing the bottom of the face                from the top; e, the groove made in the process of                finishing, -- each type as cast having attached to the                bottom of the body a jet, or small piece of metal                (formed by the surplus metal poured into the mold),                which, when broken off, leaves a roughness that                requires to be removed. The fine lines at the top and                bottom of a letter are technically called ceriphs, and                when part of the face projects over the body, as in the                letter f, the projection is called a kern. The type                which compose an ordinary book font consist of Roman                CAPITALS, small capitals, and lower-case letters, and                Italic CAPITALS and lower-case letters, with                accompanying figures, points, and reference marks, --                in all about two hundred characters.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
type          (Or "data type") A set of values from       which a variable, constant, function, or other expression may       take its value.   A type is a classification of data that tells       the {compiler} or {interpreter} how the programmer intends to       use it.   For example, the process and result of adding two       variables differs greatly according to whether they are       integers, floating point numbers, or strings.          Types supported by most programming languages include       {integers} (usually limited to some range so they will fit in       one {word} of storage), {Booleans}, {floating point numbers},       and characters.   {Strings} are also common, and are       represented as {lists} of characters in some languages.          If s and t are types, then so is s -> t, the type of       {functions} from s to t; that is, give them a term of type s,       functions of type s -> t will return a term of type t.          Some types are {primitive} - built-in to the language, with no       visible internal structure - e.g. Boolean; others are       composite - constructed from one or more other types (of       either kind) - e.g. lists, {structures}, {unions}.          Some languages provide {strong typing}, others allow {implicit       type conversion} and/or {explicit type conversion}.          (2002-02-22)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Tappuah       apple-region. (1.) A town in the valley or lowland of Judah;       formerly a royal city of the Canaanites (Josh. 12:17; 15:34). It       is now called Tuffuh, about 12 miles west of Jerusalem.                (2.) A town on the border of Ephraim (Josh. 16:8). The "land"       of Tappuah fell to Manasseh, but the "city" to Ephraim (17:8).                (3.) En-tappuah, the well of the apple, probably one of the       springs near Yassuf (Josh. 17:7).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Tobiah       pleasing to Jehovah, the "servant," the "Ammonite," who joined       with those who opposed the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the       Exile (Neh. 2:10). He was a man of great influence, which he       exerted in opposition to the Jews, and "sent letters" to       Nehemiah "to put him in fear" (Neh. 6:17-19). "Eliashib the       priest" prepared for him during Nehemiah's absence "a chamber in       the courts of the house of God," which on his return grieved       Nehemiah sore, and therefore he "cast forth all the household       stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber" (13:7, 8).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Type       occurs only once in Scripture (1 Cor. 10:11, A.V. marg.). The       Greek word _tupos_ is rendered "print" (John 20:25), "figure"       (Acts 7:43; Rom. 5:14), "fashion" (Acts 7:44), "manner" (Acts       23:25), "form" (Rom. 6:17), "example" or "ensample" (1 Cor.       10:6, 11; Phil. 3:17; 1 Thess. 1:7; 2 Thess. 3:9; 1 Tim. 4:12).       It properly means a "model" or "pattern" or "mould" into which       clay or wax was pressed, that it might take the figure or exact       shape of the mould. The word "type" is generally used to denote       a resemblance between something present and something future,       which is called the "antitype."
