Need a helping hand in Neusners Babylonian Talmud
I am trying to locate this unhyperlinked reference:
TB Berachoth 43b lists among six things inappropriate to a scholar “he should not recline at table in the company of ignorant persons,”
Lane, W. L. (1974). The Gospel of Mark. The New International Commentary on the New Testament. Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.
I've been searching in Neusner, J. (2011). The Babylonian Talmud: A Translation and Commentary. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers.
but I cannot find Berachoth 43.
Can anyone better versed in BT give me a volume # & page # so I can find the reference?
Thank you

Found it: b. Ber. 6:5, VI.13.D (Vol 1, Pg 291)
Boy, the hyperlinked text sure is much easier...although you don't get to learn the nuances of the resource that come by searching for yourself

For passer's by later on, Ward's reference used the folio number from volume 1 / Berakhot.
Neusner in Logos has 3 addressable references (Mishnah, the BT itself, or the volume/folio number).

The syntax for references to this resource doesn't give lot of flexibility, unlike the many options for bible references.
I find the best approach is to go to the table of contents at the beginning of the book and choose the correct tractate. Then use the table of contents pane or page down to go to the first folio of the tractate (after any introduction). This puts the correct syntax in the reference box, and you can change to the folio that you want.
It would be a great help if Logos could add support in the data type for the wide variety of spellings and abbreviations of tractate names that are used in various resources.
Meanwhile my approach seems to work for most resources with their own data types.

Jonathan ... agree. That's what I do too.
In Ward's specific example, the issue was the spelling of the tractate; after 'correction' it translates into the right folio, etc.
But there's a million abbreviations for the tractates. I still have trouble even with the Bible book abbreviations.
