Hi Logos scholars,
I need help, and am trying to modify a collection I found from one of you on here, called Commentaries: Historical (Antiquity), perhaps from Marc Barnes. The Collection didn't list any of Ante-Nicene except Volume 2, and left out a lot of other important works.
So, I am trying to modify it to include any work from Antiquity that I can think of, and have now many more volumes included, but also have a lot of items I should not have in the Collection.
Here is the string:
(series:"A Library of Fathers of the Holy Catholic Church", "Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture", "Cyril of Alexandria", "Early Church Fathers", "The Church’s Bible", "The Church of the First Days", "Apostolic Fathers") OR (mytag:"commentary-antiquity", "early-church", "Nicene", "churchfathers", "apostolic-fathers", "apostolicfathers", "church-fathers", "didach")
I was hoping that as specific as I was with my tag names and my collection names that I wouldn't have other stuff drift in, but I have lots of other stuff, as can be seen from these print screens:
Note the two at the bottom:

And then note all these I needed to add in the - Minus these resources:




I have tried adding -minus:xyz to the end, but cant seem to exclude anything; but I am wondering why I need to exclude anything to begin with - I mean, why am I getting false results?
In the end, I need to have a collection of writings either from or about antiquity, pre-reformation.
Any wisdom would be appreciated.
