Apocrypha question

Thomas Wooded

I have the Scholar base package and am running Logos 4 (both PC and Mac beta 3 versions). I was interested in looking at some of the original Hebrew in the Apocrypha. Do any of my resources allow me to do that?

I have experimented with opening the interlinear views in some of the bible translations that have the apocryphal books, but there doesn't seem to be any info when I go to one of the apocryphal books. Likewise, right-clicking words in the Apocrypha doesn't work like it does in the canonical books.

If this isn't in the Scholar package, are there resources that have this capability?

Related question: If I purchase "The Nag Hammadi Library in English, 4th rev. ed." does this have any original language info in it?

Thanks for any help, I am fairly new to using Logos.

First question is what do you mean by "apocrypha" - if you mean the deuterocanonical / Anagignoskomena texts (a splendid chance to toss in Greek Orthodox terminology) of the LXX, the Greek is the base text. If you mean the extra-canonical apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, some may be in Hebrew along with several other languages in which early texts have been preserved.

Just as Martha said, if you're interested in the original text of the anagignoskomena texts (great word!) your first resource is the Greek text of Rahlf’s Septuagint. Only of some books there have been recovered parts of the Hebrew/Aramaic text.

About two-thirds of the Hebrew text of the Wisdom of Jesus Sirach is known today, but I don't believe Logos has an edition available at this moment.

Several fragments of the Book of Tobit have been found at Qumran. Most of them are in Aramaic: 4Q196-199. Only 4Q200 is in Hebrew. Because there has been discovered at Qumran a wealth of other (pseudepigraphical) texts, you might consider buying the Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition ( http://www.logos.com/products/details/1779 - I'll admit to being biased, since this book is by two of my former teachers).

I have the third edition in print and this only contains the translations.

EDIT:

I forgot to mention The Apocrypha and Pseudigrapha of the Old Testamentin English: http://www.logos.com/products/details/1907 . This contains helpful notes.

And for the Pseudepigrapha there is also Charlesworth on prepub: http://www.logos.com/products/prepub/details/5745

I have "The Nag Hammadi Library in English (4th rev. ed.)" in L4 (NAGHAMM.logos4) and there is no interlinear available.

Some of the Hebrew deuterocanonical material (including Sirach) can be viewed here: http://www.logos.com/products/details/1785

The Coptic and Greek for the Gospel of Thomas is in the latest SESB. The rest of the Nag Hammadi material is only available in English at this time.
