This is the sort of day during which I would not recommend Logos/Verbum. I am doing a simple project which should produce more sales for Logos. In order to encourage people to read the early church fathers/writings, I am trying to build a table of the patristic writings used in the Catholic Liturgy of the Hours to the complete writing in Logos/Verbum. Simply put, this is a table of the reading in the patristic lectionary to its milestone so that it can be read in whatever translation/text is owned. I knew that inconsistency in milestones over the years would mean that this would not be a simple as it sounds, so I've been building an index of the actual works I own in Logos. The problem is that Logos has not recognized the quasi-canonical status of the Church Fathers and therefore not provided milestones where need. The very first patristic reading in Year 1 is St Aelred, Sermo 1 in adventu Domini 1-6: CCCM IIA which I have in Logos' Aelred of Rievaulx. The Liturgical Sermons: The First Clairvaux Collection, Advent—All Saints. Translated by Theodore Berkeley and M. Basil Pennington. Vol. 58. Cistercian Fathers Series. Athens, OH: Cistercian Publications, 2008. But this resource has neither milestone tags or sermon labels. This occurs on both readers' editions and research editions of the church fathers - missing tagging on the basis of fundamental functions.
As long as Logos/Verbum fails to consistently tag quasi-canonical works - creeds, confessions, church documents, catechisms, church fathers - I am limited in who I can recommend Logos/Verbum to. If I can't build a table to lead one from an excerpt to a complete work, the tagging is broken. The same problem occurs if I try to expand the ACC series, Bercot, the Catechism or any other collection of excerpts.
