A Grammar of Biblical Hebrew: Revised English Edition

https://www.logos.com/product/4607/a-grammar-of-biblical-hebrew-revised-english-edition

shows a publication date of 2006. It's $74.95 and apparently comes in the Logos 6 Hebrews Studies Bundles, L and X-L.

The Amazon page for the same product shows an October 7, 2011 publication date and 832 pp, 60 more than the Logos edition. Amazon shows ISBN-10 as 8876536299

http://www.amazon.com/Grammar-Biblical-Hebrew-Subsidia-Biblica/dp/8876536299/

This is the same ISBN as shown in the Logos "See inside" preview of the book.

So... are they the same book - i.e., is the Revised Edition of PAUL JOÜON, S.J. - T. MURAOKA that Logos is selling for $75 (or part of the Logos 6 Hebrews Studies bundle) the latest/newest edition?

    I have the version that comes in the Logos 6 Biblical Languages package and it is the 2006 edition with 772 pages.

    Right. I'm wondering, though, if that's the latest edition, since Amazon has a 2011 publication date. Since the Revised Edition was published in 2006, 15 years after the original edition in 1991, I would not think there would be not be another edition just 5 years later in 2011. Also, the publisher's web page seems to just show the 2006 edition.

    I have a related but separate question.

    In an online Biblical Hebrew course I am taking we were just walked through using the Jouon-Muraoka and Gesenius indexes as ways of solving problems we encounter in the text. We were looking at Dt 13:7. A slide shows a part of the J-M "Index of Passages"; the snippet shows entries for Dt 13:4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10. For verse 7 it shows section references 114e, 132aN, 146i, 158f, 158h.

    In the J-M in my Logos library

    the "Index of Passages" contains no references from the Hebrew Bible. It lists only Qumran fragments, the Gezer Calendar, the Koran, and the Odyssey (among others) -- that is, sources other than the Hebrew Bible.

    At last, my questions:

    1. Why doesn't the index of passages in the Logos version include any passages from the Hebrew Bible? (My Logos version is Orthodox Platinum.)

    2. Does this omission (if it is an omission) at least partially explain the discrepancy between the page count for the Logos version and that of the Amazon version?
