Why is everyone making such a big deal about Catena Aurea? (Or "what's in it for me?")

Unfortunately, the price chart doesn't seem to be moving that much.
Hopefully as more people see the blog post there will be more bids. And perhaps some of those people who have bid $12 - $18 might be encouraged to increase their bids to $20

Looks like we're only a smidgeon away (or perhaps two tads) ...

If you look at the graph it is almost a stright accent from $8 to $20, which means almost all the bids are $20 or more. I doubt there are enough bids at $12-$18 to make a difference. However, if a good number of the people who bid $20 would rise their bids to $22 then it could be pushed over the top. (Notice the drop from $20 to $22).
So come on everyone, increase you bid to $22 and we can get this into production!
It is a amazing what a litle support by the Blog did for this project. I really hope Logos makes a renewed effort to make Community Pricing work. I am a little concerned that it has been so long since they have added new titles.
Perhaps they could move some of the Public Domain PrePubs that don't seems to be going anywhere to Community Pricing as see what happens.

Wow! This post made it to the daily Logos Blog.
Unfortunately, the price chart doesn't seem to be moving that much.
It's gone up ~5% since the last time I looked at it a few days ago... so the blog posting made a difference! Hopefully we'll be harping on this thing to get it down to a lower price next Friday because it crossed the line at the beginning of the week.

There is a slight bend in the line - at $10 it is maybe 55%-57% paid for, so if eveyone who has bid at least 10 bids 20 we would be over the line ... so maybe the strategy of bidding 22 will pull the lower bidders up a bit and we will get this for 20 or 18!!!
i.e. I support Keith's idea - let's all bid 22!!!

I put in a bid on this, so it is so nice to see it moving. Now if Barnes Notes would do the same...

Cool! It seems to have jumped up 10% now since yesterday, thanks to the blog post. Now as more people around the globe log on to Logos and see their home page and notice it, more orders should be coming in within the next few hours...
Thank you, Rick, for noticing my forum post and asking if you could put it on the blog! [:)]

OK, I raised my bid to $22. Personally, I don't think it will make a difference. If it goes it will probably go for $20.
Here is the link to bid on this collection: http://www.logos.com/communitypricing/details/5216

And now for another Community Pricing plug. Compendium of Christian Theology, 2nd ed., by William Burt Pope (3 Vols.) is very close to getting enough interest to go into production. Currently, it looks like it will go for only $10. This is one of the best systematic theologies available from a Wesleyan perspective.
You can bid on it at: http://www.logos.com/communitypricing/details/5664.

Thank you, Rosie, for writing a compelling post that we could take to the blog and highlight both Community Pricing and the Catena Aurea!
It's really close now — let's hope it gets over soon, and then y'all hopefully get even more savings before it hits pre-pub!

Rosie,
Not to be an idiot here, but do you know why when I click on the links it tries to open them in Logos 3. Is there a way to make this happen in Logos 4?
Thanks,Russell

You're not an idiot. That is a common problem people have been having after reinstalling Libronix (Logos 3) after having already installed Logos 4. In that case, Logos 3 hijacks the libronixdls protocol back again. To fix it, see the instructions here: http://wiki.logos.com/Hyperlinks#Problem.3a_Libronix_DLS_executes_the_protocol_instead_of_Logos_4

Rosie, I NEVER knew I had the Oxford Dictionary of the CC, lol. I have been looking up stuff in my hardcopy all this time. If nothing else, this post helped me discover that!
I like Apples. Especially Honeycrisp.

Yes, Dan, the ODCC is a great resource.
I didn't get it when I bought the Scholar's Lib in Logos 3, so it was one of the reasons I updated to the Logos 4 Scholars Lib.

You must be satisfied that it was worth the effort, Rosie.:-)
I've jumped in and bid as well: hadn't realized it was significantly patristic content rather than merely Aquinas' comments.

Allen, and the "funny" thing is that I thought that I had read it was no longer available in Logos! I have a synaptic problem in my cerebral cortex. . . [:S]

Yes, I'm very pleased. Looks like it's now gone up to about 95%!
Aquinas merely arranged the commentary excerpts from the patristic authors in a logical sequence, and perhaps did some editing of content. You can get an idea of the entire content though not nicely laid out here. You can see scanned versions of some of the volumes on Google Books: Mark, Luke, John.
Here's how Aquinas's edition is laid out. Each section starts with a verse (or verses) of Scripture, followed by the comments by the patristic authors (each quote leading off with the author's name). Aquinas wrote short prefaces for each of the gospels, and might occasionally supply some linking text to make the quotes from patristic commentaries flow in a "chain," but not that I've noticed in the pages I've perused. It's basically all from the Church Fathers. Citation sources are in the margins. I'm sure the Logos tagged version is going to be very nice, with links to the original sources if we have them in our library.

Rosie,
Thanks....again.
I am consistently impressed with your knowledge of Logos...and the forums...and the Wiki. I can always count on you to either have the answer or provide a link to others who do.
I hope Logos knows what a valuable asset they have in you.
Once again, thanks.0 -
I am an early bidder at $40 so I am SO excited it is close! Come on everyone!!!!! This will be a GREAT deal at $20!

Its touching at $20, close at $18 and I believe there is a real shot at $16 for this package. What an awesome deal. It's so close, I believe that next Friday, April 16th, 2010 will be the last day at the rate bids are coming/changing.

I have been in since the beginning - hope it goes soon.

Many thanks for your work on this. I've always wanted to get the "Ancient Christian Commentary" but other purchases have taken priority.
I put a bid for $20 and nothing happened. I changed it to $24 and immediately got a notice that The project closes 4/16/2010 at $20. PTL.
