Metadata Error for Early Church Fathers set?

David Bailey

For those L4 users who have the Early Church Fathers set, do you see Nicene and Post Nicene Fathers First Series volumes 7-8, 10-14 under the category Bible Commentary?  The rest of volumes are found in Monograph. Has anyone submitted a bug report?  See screenshot:

.

I didn't see any such reports lately, so I will submit one now.

Update:  I got the answers - thanks everyone - it's not a bug, just my misunderstanding of the set.

Some of the ECF volumes are commentaries, so they're tagged as such. It's actually correct behaviour, in my opinion.

Hadn't noticed it before, but I see the same as you. However, vol VII is Augustine's tractates on the Gospel of John, vol. VIII is Augustine's expositions on the Psalms; vol. X is Chrysostom on Matthew, etc.

I agree. These were tagged properly. Of course in Bellingham it would be correct behavior on their part. [;)]

Hi Mark, Richard, and Mark

Thanks for the quick reply.  I guess that makes sense then. Still the breakup of the category for the series is a bit confusing for someone new like me  [:)].

I wish L4 allowed users to customize their library categories, or at least, have all volumes of a set displayed in a resource panel.  I don't know enough about Logos to see if this is possible.

You could simply put all the volumes in a collection. If you wanted to run a search on them you could specify the collection. (I have mine in two collections: Ante-Nicene, and Nicene and Post-Nicene fathers for just this purpose. I use them for the Cited By tool, as well.)

That's a good idea for the searching. But I was thinking more of the book shelf analogy for the GUI.  A list of all the volumes of a set in a panel so that I can just mouse click on any volume - just like looking at a shelf of books that all belong to the set and selecting a book from the shelf.

What is the bug?

In http://wiki.logos.com/Metadata_correction_proposals I see one report for vol 6 that it should be a Commentary type when it is a Monograph. It has some merit but the material is selected Sermons. The other volumes can't be type Commentary because they are not indexed by Bible reference.

EDIT: I see the other answers. The ones tagged as type Commentary are OK!
