Carta!

Let's hope, Bruce. There really isn't a good, non-evangelical Bible atlas available for Logos.

A new thread just reminded me of another possible reason for Logos delaying Carta resources: image quality. Carta needs it, and Logos doesn't have a great record of delivering it. Shipping these with poor image quality would be pretty disastrous.

This by far is the best Bible Atlas that I have owned and would love to see it in Logos.
Same book different name….
The Carta Bible Atlas
by Yohanon Aharoni
This fourth edition of the best-selling The Macmillan Bible Atlas brings the latest findings of biblical, historical, and archaeological research to its sweeping cartographic portrayal of biblical history.- settlement and mass migrations of populations
- skirmishes, battles, and conquests described in the Bible
- economic developments, trade routes, and natural resources
- the movements of biblical characters within the Holy Land, its districts and cities
- archaeological excavations in the Holy Land from the Stone Age, the Chalcolithic period, and the Israelite and Second Temple periods
- the journeys of the Apostles and the growth of the Church in the first and second centuries A.D.
In addition, valuable appendices, a detailed comparative chronology of early civilizations, a key to the maps according to the books of the Bible, and a new index to persons make this work the most comprehensive Bible Atlas available.Hardcover, 223 pagesPublished January 10th 2002 by Carta JerusalemI wonder if Accordance holds a computer exclusive on Carta products since they partnered with them a few years back to bring all Carta products to Accordance.-Dan0 -

I had a great email exchange with someone at Carta over the last few days confirming that they are very interested in seeing Carta resources come to Logos. I would love to hear if Logos is interested in pursuing this opportunity.
In addition I heard the following from Carta about this resource -
"In 2011 we issued the 5th Revised & Expanded Edition of The Carta Bible Atlas. UBrucepdated by the late Prof Anson F. Rainey himself with Prof R. Steven Notley expanding the N. T. section. It is a thoroughly improved version."
Is anyone else excited about seeing this in Logos?

I would like to see it… I have had the Carta ultimate collection on my Accordance wish list for a long while….just always seems more important… and wish lists are usually for the time you have much extra money...

I have the 5th edition of the Carta Bible Atlas in book form. It's outstanding. I'd love to have it in Logos.

Bump...
It's about time to see if we can drum up some more votes for Carta maps.

Well, I guess the clock's ticking away for me.
As earlier mentioned, I got Another Bible Software's Carta Bible Atlas, Sacred Bridge and non-Carta Photoguide (the best of the 3). The Atlas, that's been re-badged, is not that impressive per se, but does include some maps that otherwise are buried elsewhere in our Logos libraries. Menerptah's vacation in Palestine comes to mind.
Now my new Carta friend is 'the Quest'. I wasn't too enthused with more maps of theoretical Jerusalem history (emphasis on theoretical). But the Quest is much more detail mainly beginning 'in the days of King Herod' and archaeologically moving backward.

I'm still holding out for Logos although I am tempted to consider other options if there is no chance of getting it in Logos.

Thanks for keeping my thread alive Bruce. 3+ years now, and still waiting.

Add them both please. There's always room for more of this sort of material. It can be easy to overlook the significance of geography when reading the scriptures.

Can anyone compare the Carta with the Macmillan?

You are welcome Ben. We all have much to gain from keeping this alive.

I was tired of waiting on Logos and bought it last year during a sale at a competitor that used to be Mac only.
A year later, I am glad I did it then.

Here is a recent blog about the best Bible atlas ever -

Oh how I continue to wish it would be available in Logos.
Perhaps this will motivate a few more to cast your vote for this with Logos - https://prepub.uservoice.com/forums/183407-general/suggestions/3718024-add-books-from-carta

What really impressed me was their using the Book of the Wars of YHWH for much of their locational information. I'm disappointed Moses had a copy in his library, but Logos refuses to carry it.[8-|]

Veli, from what I've seen (just spot-checked a few places), there is both U.S. and metric measurement given.

Ha!
You may have already seen this, but you can see a bit more here (from Carta). (Scroll down to the "Download" tab for two sample pages.)
This atlas could take a lifetime to review, but I'm shooting for 2014.

Any chance we'll see some of these Carta materials in Logos? I always see these at SBL and think "wow, those are great visuals."
Or perhaps The Sacred Bridge?

A bump for the Sacred Bridge.
Hoping that Logos and Carta can agree to put it out!

I just got the free upgrade to the latest edition of SB on my other software a couple weeks back. This really should be in Logos too. I do not think Accordance has any type of an exclusive contract. Although I do know they have been releasing a lot new title from them in the past month or so. So Carta is not opposed to their works in computer format and being the standard reference work it is a shame Logos users can't get it.

We know this is true. The issues seem to revolve around contractual details. I hope that both companies will re-enter negotiations to work out the details - whatever they are.
