Come on people! Here's a suggestion that can't get over the hump! I see this all over the place and cannot access it. Please help this over the line!

This is at least the second time this has been offered.

Why are so few interested?

    Why are so few interested?

    1. Because we already got the german version and have it happily linked, churning tons of ....

    2. Possible matches from who knows when ... late 1st, 3rd .... one of the well known weaknesses. But the links DO go to owned resources (Talmud, PG and so forth).

    3. And finally, if the english passes go, they still have to contract out the massive translation. Then periodically wake up to questions of 'what happened?' (eg ECC).

    4. But yes, would be nice.

    Here's a silly cartoon for all the students of Theological German to test their German skills on:

    Unintensionally, I had bounced into Tertullian and then somehow, Strack popped up. I wasn't surprised Hermeneia's Strack link was unconsciously dead.  Herm doesn't get much updates, if memory serves.

    But curiousity demanded a search to see how many resource links might be active, since Strack and B, the resource, is live and kicking (in a non-english way).

    Well, first, there's a billion references. Are we surprised. And no doubt, years back, who would ever guess Logos would have Strack? So, I checked  recently published resources, only to be met with more unconscious Strack links.  Indeed, after much toil, I couldn't locate one.  I'm sure there's at least one.

    So. Clearly Logos is betting Strack will never wake up. For a long time.
