Calvin Commentaries

So having purchased the Scholars Library a few weeks ago I have Calvin's commentaries. However I notice that on the web store calvin is not greyed out. So I checked the L5 upgrade page, and as it turns out according to that page, there are a couple of new additions to Calvins commentary. However, the commentary is still listed as ~150$ (iirc, the point its not taking into account the part of calvin that I already own).

Is the delta update functionality going to be a part of non-upgrade packages? or will we still need to call in about that.

What is the difference between the two sets?

I'd like to help, but I'm confused about what you are saying:

The L4 Scholar's library didn't have Calvin's Commentaries. The only Calvin work it had was Calvin's Institutes. Is it possible you bought his commentaries as a separate purchase?

I'm not seeing this. How did you determine this?

Nothing has changed with the Calvin's Commentaries set since 2009
when they were redone and a survey volume was added (the Calvin: Commentaries volume from the Library of Christian Classics).

BTW, the volume count (46) does not match the resource count (20) because multi-volume works on a single book were combined into one resource.

I don't remember that numeric comparison being there when I was looking to upgrade. That must be new.

But the numbers make absolutely no sense. I upgraded to Silver, and my pop-up for Calvin's Commentaries now says 73 of 73, but there are clearly only 20 resources in my library. It must include things like datatype definitions, but I have no idea where they would get 73 from. You should call sales. I wonder if they would even know.

Sorry I can't help. I'm no less confused.

I compiled a lot of PB's from christian ethereal library and so forth, it is possible that I compiled calvin from that.

But there should be a differentiation between PB's and official resources no?

That would not update your licenses with Logos, but I don't know what their comparison tool looks at.

ok did a search using this syntax:

author:”calvin, john”, title:calvin, subject:calvin

came up with three books - institutes, another by Piper on Calvin (a PB), and a third also a PB.

So the resources its seeing must be Institutes? which must have came from my Scholars library.

No, the Institutes are a separate line item on the comparison chart (under Theology).

You clearly don't own the commentaries, so you would gain them if you bought Bronze or higher.

I think the count comparison is counting things other than resources or "datasets". I think it's more confusing with it than without it.

Here's what you would have in your library if you already owned them:
