SUGGESTION for LOGOS 8 re:predefined collections/ancient literature
Reading some of the advice given by Faithlife employees on when to use Ancient Literature vs. when to use a Collection, I saw FL recommending the use of the predefined Church Fathers Collection. I would like to see the advice generalized by making the rest of the standard corpora have predefined collections:
- Ancient Near-Eastern Material
- Apostolic Fathers
- Church Fathers [Already present]
- Dead Sea Scrolls (Sectarian Material)
- Judaica
- Old Testament Pseudepigrapha
- Nag Hammadi Codices
- New Testament Apocrypha
- Works of Josephus
- Works of Philo
(See Rick Brannan, Ancient Literature Documentation (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2015).)

MJ, Can you say a little more about pre-defined collections? I couldn't find the advice from FL you were talking about. Are pre-defined collections something available from Faithlife? I know about the examples on the Wiki, but I'm guessing you are talking about something else. Thanks.

Verbum comes with three predefined collections: church fathers, catechism, church documents. The post to which I referred was showing the difference between the results in the Ancient Literature section and the Collection section of the guide. I would actually love to see the following:
- church fathers; apostolic fathers; doctors of the church
- Catholic catechism; Orthodox catechism; Anglican catechism; Lutheran catechism; Reformed catechism
- Catholic church documents; Orthodox church documents; Anglican church documents; Lutheran church documents; Reformed church documents
- Catholic ritual books; Orthodox ritual books; Anglican ritual books; Lutheran ritual books; Reformed ritual books

Interesting. Are these predefined via rules or are they hard-baked into the software? I've built a collection of Fathers and Early Christian Literature, but it relies heavily on Mytags.

hard-baked, unfortunately, so it's not easily shareable with Logos only users.
