Shorter and longer versions

Jeffrey Ellis

Some of the resources (e.g., Ante-Nicene Fathers) include both Shorter and Longer versions of the text for some of the ancient manuscripts.  Is it possible to hide one or the other so that I can just read the text without a side-by-side comparison?

I don't quite follow. Can you give a specific example? I opened one of those resources and didn't see anything "side by side."

Sure...  in volume #1, starting at Ignatius:

THE EPISTLE OF IGNATIUS TO THE EPHESIANS

SHORTER AND LONGER VERSIONS

On the left is:

Ignatius, who is also called Theophorus, to the Church which is at Ephesus, in Asia, deservedly most happy, being blessed in the greatness and fulness of God the Father, and predestinated before the beginning of time, that it should be always for an enduring and unchangeable glory, being united and elected through the true passion by the will of the Father, and Jesus Christ, our God: Abundant happiness through Jesus Christ, and His undefiled grace.

On the right is:

Then:

CHAP. I.—PRAISE OF THE EPHESIANS.

On the left:

I HAVE become acquainted with your name, much-beloved in God, which ye have acquired by the habit of righteousness, according to the faith and love in Jesus Christ our Saviour. Being the followers of God, and stirring up7 yourselves by the blood of God, ye have perfectly accomplished the work which was beseeming to you. For, on hearing that I came bound from Syria for the common name and hope, trusting through your prayers to be permitted to fight with beasts at Rome, that so by martyrdom I may indeed become the disciple of Him “who gave Himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God,” [ye hastened to see me9]. I received, therefore, your whole multitude in the name of God, through Onesimus, a man of inexpressible love,11 and your bishop in the flesh, whom I pray you by Jesus Christ to love, and that you would all seek to be like him. And blessed be He who has granted unto you, being worthy, to obtain such an excellent bishop.

I HAVE become acquainted with your greatly-desired name in God, which ye have acquired by the habit of righteousness, according to the faith and love in Christ Jesus our Saviour. Being the followers of the love of God towards man, and stirring up13 yourselves by the blood of Christ, you have perfectly accomplished the work which was beseeming to you. For, on hearing that I came bound from Syria for the sake of Christ, our common hope, trusting through your prayers to be permitted to fight with beasts at Rome, that so by martyrdom I may indeed become the disciple of Him “who gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God,” [ye hastened to see me15]. I have therefore received your whole multitude in the name of God, through Onesimus, a man of inexpressible love, and who is your bishop, whom I pray you by Jesus Christ to love, and that you would all seek to be like him. Blessed be God, who has granted unto you, who are yourselves so excellent, to obtain such an excellent bishop.

I'm wondering/hoping that there is a setting that I don't know about that will allow me to read either the short or the long version without looking at it all side-by-side.

Thank you for looking.

Glad to help. I see it now, but unfortunately, I don't think there is anything you can do about it. [:s] It appears to me that it is set up as a table, with two columns. I was hoping there would be some visual filter you could turn on/off, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
