For those who don't know who Bercot is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bercot and for those who are unfamiliar with his Logos resource Bercot, David W., ed. A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs: A Reference Guide to More than 700 Topics Discussed by the Early Church Fathers. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 1998. The problem: he edited this work referencing the Early Church Fathers by page numbers in an old translation I am not fond of. I have need for comparing his selection with other standard excerpts from Church Fathers that use standard academic references author-work-book-chapter-paragraph sort of things.
So I end up in this mess. I want to see if any of these quotes exist in Bercot: <ApostolicFathers = I Clement 1>, <ApostolicFathers = I Clement 7>, <ApostolicFathers = I Clement 57-59>, <ApostolicFathers = I Clement 63>. But when I search Bercot I get volume, page number. Note the actual reference is <ApostolicFathers = I Clement 45>.
Yes, I can create a note that contains the standardized reference but that helps only myself and requires an additional step to find it such an entry exists. If I could add an alternative reference that would show beside the non-standard reference it would (a) help others beside myself and (b) save me steps in future access. It would also be accessible to searches for references to the excerpt.
