Suggestion: Medieval Theology Bundles
Now that we have wonderful Patristics bundles, why not have medieval studies bundles too?
I'm thinking stuff like Anselm, Aquinas, Palamas, Albert the Great, Photius, Duns Scotus, Abelard, Peter Lombard, medieval history, but others will have more ideas.

I hope you've voted for Add more Medieval works to CP and Add more Medieval works [to prepub].
Here's a combined list of the books I specifically mention there, minus those that have already been added:
• The Glossa Ordinaria
• The Sentences
• The Legenda Aurea
• William of St-Thierry: especially Exposition on the Song of Songs and On the Sacrament of the Altar
• Aelred of Rievaulx: especially Spiritual Friendship
• Pierre Abélard
• Thomas More
• Tauler, Suso, Eckehart, Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Walter Hilton, Hildegard of Bingen... (though I guess their most important works can now be found in the Classics of Western Spirituality: Pre-Reformation Christianity (55 vols.))
• Raymond of Capua's biography of Catherine of Siena
• Codex Calixtinus (on St Jacob and Santiago de Compostela)
• Classic church history works
• Monastic Rules (don't forget the Bridgettines, the earlier 'double' monasteries, the anchorites, and the Irish)
• Penitentials (essential for studying the development of moral Theology)
• Those writings that are most quoted in the ACCS, the Catena Aurea, council documents, the CCC and so on, yet are still missing in Logos
• Chesterton's and Copleston's books on Aquinas
• Anders Piltz OP: The World of Medieval Learning
• Jean Leclercq: The Love of Learning and the Desire for God
• Paul J Glenn: A Tour of the Summa
• Thomas Weinandy, Daniel Keating et al: Aquinas on Scripture. An Introduction to his Biblical Commentaries.
• Matthew Levering (et al): Christ’s Fulfillment of Torah and Temple: Salvation According to Thomas Aquinas, Reading John with St. Thomas Aquinas: Theological Exegesis and Speculative Theology, Rediscovering Aquinas and the Sacraments: Studies in Sacramental Theology
• Marcus Plested: Orthodox Readings of Aquinas (Changing Paradigms in Historical and Systematic Theology)I have to say that Logos still has shockingly huge holes when it comes to the Middle Ages. And many of these should be easy to put on CP. I can't understand why they haven't already done so.

I have.

As well as Chesterton's biography of St. Francis.

I look forward to Faithlife doing this.

Absolutely, yes!

Medieval studies isn't the only one poorly represented. But on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being rarely represented and 10 being extremely well represented) I'd say a 2 (maybe).
I personally thing we need more books and dictionaries that cover overall church history, as well as specific works for specific periods, specific places, and specific places. So, Medieval Bundle, Renaissance Bundle, Early Church Bundle, Reformation Bundle, Bundles for the 17th, 18th, and 19th to present time for church history. But also, Church in Africa Bundle, Church in Europe Bundle, Church in Asia Bundle, Church in North America, Church in South America, Church in Central America. Perhaps even bundles that contain monographs that study the different literature in the different languages of those countries and cultures. But, I never ask much from Logos. But, yes, definitely needed is a Medieval Bundle (or multiple Medieval bundles). That would be a good start in the right direction.
