Jargon banner n. 1. The title page added to printouts by most print spoolers
(see spool). Typically includes user or account ID information in very
large character-graphics capitals. Also called a `burst page', because
it indicates where to burst (tear apart) fanfold paper to separate one
user's printout from the next. 2. A similar printout generated
(typically on multiple pages of fan-fold paper) from user-specified
text, e.g., by a program such as Unix's `banner(1,6)'. 3. On
interactive software, a first screen containing a logo and/or author
credits and/or a copyright notice. This is probably now the commonest
sense.

Banner (1.) The flag or banner of the larger kind, serving for three tribes marching together. These standards, of which there were four, were worked with embroidery and beautifully ornamented (Num. 1:52; 2:2, 3, 10, 18, 25; Cant. 2:4; 6:4, 10). (2.) The flag borne by each separate tribe, of a smaller form. Probably it bore on it the name of the tribe to which it belonged, or some distinguishing device (Num. 2:2,34). (3.) A lofty signal-flag, not carried about, but stationary. It was usually erected on a mountain or other lofty place. As soon as it was seen the war-trumpets were blown (Ps. 60:4; Isa. 5:26; 11:12; 13:2; 18:3; 30:17; Jer. 4:6 21; Ezek. 27:7). (4.) A "sign of fire" (Jer. 6:1) was sometimes used as a signal. The banners and ensigns of the Roman army had idolatrous images upon them, and hence they are called the "abomination of desolation" (q.v.). The principal Roman standard, however, was an eagle. (See Matt. 24:28; Luke 17:37, where the Jewish nation is compared to a dead body, which the eagles gather together to devour.) God's setting up or giving a banner (Ps. 20:5; 60:4; Cant. 2:4) imports his presence and protection and aid extended to his people.
