Lexham Resource not in collections bundles etc... Thoughts why?

When I go to the product page for the Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament, it doesn't list it in any packages or bundles except for one. It isn't even sold on its own. I'm curious as to two things.

1) Any reason why? Has Logos forgotten about this resource? Or are there others similar to it?

2) I'm really interested in the English literal translation feature. Are there other resources or features in L8 that I can use to duplicate this? I don't read Greek very well so seeing it in this way would help.

Resource: https://www.logos.com/resources/LLS_LGNTI/the-lexham-greek-english-interlinear-new-testament

I have the Hebrew one for some reason

It’s effectively been replaced by the SBL edition: https://www.logos.com/resources/LLS_LGNTISBL/the-lexham-greek-english-interlinear-new-testament-sbl-edition

Thank you Mark! Any idea what the difference between the two is? What does sbl signify?

SBL stands for the Society of Biblical Literature. They partnered with Logos to produce this edition in 2010. Since then, that’s been the preferred NT in Logos. The reason for that is that as a Logos-created edition, there are no licence restrictions (or additional costs). That allows Logos to more easily and cheaply create additional datasets or resources based on that edition compared with (for example NA28 or UBS5).

The NT is an updated edition of Westcott-Hort. You can read more about it here: http://sblgnt.com/about/introduction/

Thank you again Mark! Now all I have to do is figure out how to get to the literal translation to show 😀

Just my 2 cents ... the english lexical line is better than the english literal line.

And what an accidental opportunity to remind the interested about the Tregelles prepub (below, all the Tregelles resources).

https://www.logos.com/products/search?q=tregelles

He was a curious gentleman, translating the german Gesenius (hebrew), along with his greek NT and apparatus. He had an early and tight set of critical rules, which he vigorously advocated.

If you read the web page Mark referenced and the Holmes' strategy, interestingly Julia Smith, in the late 1800s took a similar approach, working off of Tregelles and Westcott (the NIV back translation luckily not yet available).

In the prepub, the 2 Tregelles books are part of the basis for the introduction (lengthy) in the apparatus (which I think was published shortly after his passing).

Fascinating! Thank you Denise. Incidentally I have those resources so I'll take a look at them as well
