Beloved is doing his best to help everyone ... latin WAS the lingua franca of Christian writing for what ... maybe a 1000 years or so? But the first 4 centuries were a critical time period for guaging their interpretation of the passages.
And ALSO remember that L&S does cover the area of your most likely use. The Oxford cut off before you could even begin your scholarly work (time period).

OK,
I firmly believe that this text is a must have and I will put my money where my mouth is. Everyone @ $24 let's raise our bids to $38 and see if collectively we cannot move this vital resource into production! I'm in at $38 who's with me? [pi] [B][D]

Yuch ! [:P] I didn't mind grape juice when I was younger and a Fundamentalist, but I don't like grape juice now (or grape jelly). Of course, I don't like peanut butter and jelly—just peanut butter (crunchy) or just jelly (non-grape).

Now George you know wine is but the fermented juice of the grape you make yuk. As for PBJ I myself love this combo still. Guess just a big baby. But, beer will certainly be had. Your support would go a long way towards legitimizing my suggesting that forum users take another look. In? [8-|]

Yes, the process greatly improves the flavor. Don't be a heretic. Jesus didn't drink grape juice. He drank wine (grape juice wouldn't stay unfermented for very long). Just don't use it to excess.

Sure, a little wine for the bellies sake. Let us not be guilty of straining out the gnat and swallowing the camel. Now, support L&S with your best pitch. [6]

I'm in.
Since I have several Latin texts in the library and that single semester of Latin was a long time ago I figure I need all the help I can get. [:D]

I must say, I'm a little surprised that important works like this - not to mention the OLD - are not assumed to be essential to Logos. After all, Logos offers so much and so much that is, shall we say, a bit obscure. This is a good thing.
However, important dictionaries/lexicons like this are of use to virtually everyone who uses Logos. To me it's almost akin to putting up a pre-pub bid to see if people want to have access to Greek fonts or not.
It is puzzling to me.

It's a greek crowd, with a few hebrew stragglers. I haven't seen any 'latin' folks which is curious, given the richness of the writings of the various groups among the church fathers. I HAVE whined about Logos' library short-comings but I have a hard time arguing with some of these core resources being on CP and very little interest. Indeed I finally noticed the 'writing on the wall', and have begun chatting with the 'Medes' next door.

It is also puzzling to me. There are certain works for which there will always be a market (unless they are subsequently replaced by a superior version) such as BDAG, LSJ, Lewis & Short and Crum's Coptic Dictionary.
Oh my, how could I have omitted BDB and HALOT?

Yes, I have noticed this!
Maybe it's not my place to say - but if Logos wants to be THE go-to software for Bible study/reading, lexicons like this will be essential for a huge number of potential customers. Few serious scholars/readers can afford to ignore 1000 years of Church history, etc.

Couldn't agree more. It's not like these are obscure things relevant to a small minority - especially when one considers potential customers.

As for the OLD it's a license issue. Logos hasn't been able to contract anything new from Oxford for years now. Hopefully the new relationship with Cambridge will facilitate getting OUP back onboard again. There are so many OUP books that are among the most asked for.
As for the others, it's simply very smart business sense. Since all books are financed before any real work starts on them, they never risk going broke because of a few serious publishing misjudgements in a row. Which is good for us as well, since we need them in business, or we won't have any Logos the next time we update the OS. Plus the system allows them to try titles they would never dare to publish without it. Which is also good for us.
