I’ve been seeing the Augustine Institute talk about a Catholic edition of the ESV. Anybody know if there’s movement to bring this to Logos?

Thank you. I must have missed this
https://verbum.com/product/195541/verbum-9-gold
Is there any word on when customers outside the US will be able to purchase this?
We hope to have a worldwide license in the future.
Are there any plans for a Reverse Interlinear? I imagine it wouldn't take too much to adapt the one used for the ESV, albeit with some extra work on the deuterocanonicals (especially Tobit)
I'm in the U.S. but it's showing as not available for individual purchase. Is that a mistake? I was trying to add it to my wishlist but can't since it's not for sale.
The reverse interlinear is in production and will be pushed out to the base packages as soon as it's finished.
Great - Thanks TL!
I was just trying to add the bible itself to my wishlist, I wasn't trying to purchase the reverse interlinear. Is the unavailability of the RI impacting our ability to buy just the bible by itself?

Right now it's only available in Verbum 9 Gold and above, but it will be available for individual sale in the future.

Okay thanks!
It's available now, but not geo-restricted to the US.

There are still some geo-restrictions, and we're working to get worldwide distribution.
looking forward to it, thanks!

Progress is good!
So I can buy it individually in Canada, but not within in a Verbum Library.
I am not very happy with this purchase. Faithlife dropped the ball on this.
The formatting is horrible. Very uneven spacing between every few lines of text.
No footnotes.
No cross-references.
I am guessing it might work with Factbook once the interlinear is finished.
Typical of Faithlife "half-way is good enough".
Not good enough guys, you need to fix this.

Huh? Can you post a screen shot? Mine has footnotes and the format of the original. I need to check further re: cross-reference.
Regarding formatting, I can see the "uneven spacing": The large chapter number forces more space between the first line of the chapter and the second. And the verse numbers reach out above the normal height of a line - they will occur often, but thus a line with no verse number will be closer to the line above than "usual" - see your very last line on the page, or the fourth from below. This may be exactly as the printed edition, I don't know, but if I was editing such a thing for print I would make sure that the line spacing is sufficient for the verse numbers, and maybe put the first chapter line at the bottom of the chapter number, not into the middle. But that's just my personal feeling about this. And while I see the "uneven spacing", it doesn't disturb me.
Anyway, it may be many months or even years until I'll even be allowed to buy ESV-CE....

The only issue I note when comparing print to Verbum edition is the "uneven spacing" at the start of a new chapter (i.e. the line with the larger chapter numeral has a larger leading following it).
As to footnotes and cross references, everything that appears in the printed edition from the Augustine Institute seems to be present. By way of example (I tried to match which verses displayed as closely as I could between the two):
Footnotes were my bad. Forgot to turn them on.
The ESV is literally littered with cross-references (good thing), so I figured this would also be true of the ESV-CE. Might be a bad assumption on my part, but a big disappointment for me that they are not included.
Screenshot below shows so very poor spacing problems. BTW, I do expect some difference with the larger chapter numbers.
MJ, I can see the spacing problems in the screenshot you posted. Amazingly enough I do not see it in Kevin's screenshot.
The spacing is inherent in the electronic file sent by the publisher. Faithlife differences should be primarily the result of the rendering and default fonts. I agree it is not ideal.
This is even worse
.
Kevin's screenshot is displaying the text in a different font that shows a much smaller height disparity between verse numbers and the top of the text. (Compare the relative heights of the top of the quotation marks and the top of the verse numbers.) Fix your font to fix your problem.
I've created a feedback item for this: https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/1009
Thank you Bradley!

I have all the RIs for ESVCE, but not the bible (ESVCE) itself....[:'(]

Same. I wish Logos had put it in the same packages that they put the Reverse Interlinear.
Just checking, since there's a sale now for this ...
Does the ESV-CE Augustine Bible work with all the Reverse Interlinears now?
Each translation requires it's own set of reserve interlinears which work only for that translation. Yes, the ESV-CE has a full set of reverse interlinears.
It's terrible to come across this inconsistency of spacing between Hebrew texts/words and texts from other languages. It really bothers me that the use of "display multiple books" is inconsistent when I use the Hebrew text side by side with the Greek LXX and an English version. The Greek text conforms perfectly to the font size I select, but only the Hebrew is larger than the other languages. I don't know, but I think the solution would be to choose another Hebrew font that is more compact and follows the size of the other fonts.
but only the Hebrew is larger than the other languages.
There was a frequent request in the forums for larger Hebrew fonts. Logos listened.
