Questions re:new Help on Bible book abbreviations (ATTN: Eli?}

MJ. Smith

In Help and https://www.logos.com/support/windows/L4/abbreviations

1. Isn't Greek Esther recognized?
2. Isn't the most common abbreviation for Ad Ps Ps 151?
3. Isn't the book Odes in the plural ... and why don't I find it in Factbook
4. In canonical order doesn't Laodiceans come after the NT?
5. Pss 152-155 appear to be missing - noted only because Psalms of Solomon are present.

1. The default verse map does support Greek Esther.*
2. Both "Ad Ps" and "Ps 151" are recognized as abbreviations for that Psalm.
3. Odes can be referred to by "Ode" or "Odes". I don't know why it isn't in Factbook. It should be.
4. In canonical order, yes, but in the weird order of the Bible data type, no.**
5. The default Bible data type has everything necessary to support the NRSV and some editions of the LXX. Psalms of Solomon (18 Psalms) are included in the Logos LXX, but Pss 152-155 are not. (I blame history.)

* That web page we referenced hasn't been updated since 2010. I'll see if there are any trees I can bark up loud enough to get it updated. [:)]

** I am led to believe that once a book is in a given order in a Bible data type, it is nearly impossible to move it, because the book names are translated into integers and then bit strings when the books are compiled. The only way to put a book into a new integer slot is to move all the ones after its original position, and then re-compile every resource that ever used that data type. However, most of the Bible data types are built with a large-ish gap in sequence between the testaments, and I assume that whoever first added Laodiceans to the default Bible data type just added it to the end of the inter-testamental gap.
