Index of ANES texts/inscriptions?
We have a number of good books (and more coming) of ancient OT-related texts and inscriptions:
- the classics of Pritchard/ANET and
- COS (3-volume),
- Logos-produced Semitic Inscriptions, (plus Hebrew and Canaanite Inscriptions, and Aramaic Inscriptions),
- a Textbook of North-Semitic Inscriptions,
- the Carta volume Echoes from the Past: Hebrew and Cognate Inscriptions from the Biblical Period,
- plus the various SBL volumes of Writings From the Ancient World (16 vols.), etc.
- And Inscriptions from the World of the Bible : A Reader and Introduction to Old Northwest Semitic on prepub
I know there is an Ancient Inscriptions tool, but what I'm looking for is an index. Say I want a particular Lachish letter; is there an index that says THAT letter is linked in ANET 124a, COS 3:17, and links to all the other books that have translations/commentary? Or do I just have to run searches and open up parallel stuff manually?

Thank you for the list! I picked up the .99 one, and ordered the prepub that I missed.
Regarding your question, I don't know of such. The closest is typing in the ref to Text Comparison, using a inscription collection.
Logos4+ left out Libby's index lists, and library grouping by collection.
Go Libby!

Today's the last day to grab Inscriptions from the World of the Bible: A Reader and Introduction to Old Northwest Semitic on the prepub price!

I am looking for some resource list like this for New Testament Studies. Any thoughts?

Do you mean a work that provides extrabiblical texts for the study of the New Testament?
What about:
Ancient Texts for New Testament Studies: A Guide to the Background Literature

So, returning to my OP, I would like to make a document with links to each book that treats each inscription,
E.g.Mesha Stele
-INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE WORLD OF THE BIBLE (link)
Text and grammatical commentary
- Context of Scripture 2.23 (link)
Translation and discovery
Tel Fekherye InscriptionIt seems to me that Logos' documents don't really have a good document type for this, correct? Notes don't quite seem to do it.
So... do I build a personal book with this? Do it in Word, then import?

Not any expertise, but it looks like the Fathers Index (personal book a few years back, really handy). And the DSS one too.
Indexing wise, of course you already know there multiple overlapping indices. I guess, I'm not sure exactly what you're wanting/planning.

That would be great!
Also the Ancient Inscriptions Interactive needs improvement, as not even the inculded texts have all links. (see german thread: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/196795/1139815.aspx#1139815 )
As an addition to your list above, the great TUAT has to be named: https://www.logos.com/product/186431/texte-aus-der-umwelt-des-alten-testaments-alte-und-neue-folge0
