Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up.

This tip is based on the forum post: Visual Filter Question RE: Comparing Texts - Logos Forums with Logos training at Text Comparison – Logos Help Center.

To set this up I have used the following resources:

  • Holmes, Michael W. The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition. Lexham Press; Society of Biblical Literature, 2011–2013.
  • Nestle, Eberhard, Erwin Nestle, Barbara Aland, Kurt Aland, Johannes Karavidopoulos, Carlo M. Martini, and Bruce M. Metzger. The Greek New Testament. 27th ed. Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft: Stuttgart, 1993.
  • Hellenic Bible Society. New Testament Patriarchal Text (ANTONIADIS TEXT) 1904. 1912 Antoniades Revision. Hellenic Bible Society, 1904.
  • Robinson, Maurice. Elzevir Textus Receptus (1624): With Morphology. Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software, 2002.
  • Stephen’s 1550 Textus Receptus: With Morphology. Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software, 2002.

I used these texts for a text comparison. As you can see the two textus receptus version show as 100% different. The difference is in the markings (diacriticals) not in the underlying words.

In the panel menu of the text comparison tool, one can choose to ignore differences in markings as indicated by the check mark in front of the option. Note that there are a number of additional options available to manage the text comparison tool as well.

The text comparison tool now shows the results I expected.


Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
