Canon Comparison: Jerome's Vulgate - 3 Ezra and 5 Ezra as protocanon?

Nycholas Maia

Hi,

Could someone explain to me why the "Canon Comparison" feature of Logos 10 (v31.3) classifies the books of "3 Ezra" and "5 Ezra" as protocanonical in Jerome's Vulgate?

Even in Weber's Vulgate (2008), these 2 books are placed in the appendix, outside the canonical books. Apparently, both should be classified with the color "red", that is, "additional material".

I'm waiting,
Thanks,

Eli Evans (Logos)

Hello, Nycholas!

It's an error. It looks to be a data transcription mistake on my part. (MJ is blameless.) Good catch!

The books are correctly listed as plus-material on the "Jerome Vulgate" "List" view page, but are incorrectly listed as protocanon in the comparison chart, as you noticed. That's because the annotation has to be made in two places when the canon list has a different name for a book than the global one used in the comparison chart — and I only made it in one place, not both. Mea culpa.

I submitted a bug report along with instructions for the dev team on how to rectify this error, and I expect it will result in a resource update sometime in the near future. (I can't be more certain than that.)

Thanks again for pointing this out!
