Humm.... I like this idea. So just everything we've got related to the deuterocanon? Only some resources? If so, which ones?

Ironically I might have all the resources already. But I was thinking when I saw this maybe
Anchor bible commentaries
new collleville volumes
The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges,
Lutheran study Apocrypha
Introducing the Apocrypha message context significance
invitation to the Apocrypha
Sheffield Academic Press Study guides
wise lives: orthodox reflections on the wisdom of Sirach
UBS Handbooks
This would be to me an ideal collection.

PS:I obviously meant related volumes of larger collections I mentioned, but just thought I would say it for complete clarity

My ideal version would have the relevant Bible Commentaries, particularly the Catholic and Orthodox ones (ergo the patristic ones). It makes sense, I think, to prioritize commentaries by people who consider the Deuterocanon part of the Bible. Monographs are not quite as helpful/frequently consulted, so I would be cautious about them. I put the Deuterocanon all under one heading because I'm not sure that there is enough good (and bundle/discountable) material on the Deuterocanon to divide it into a few packages.
Specific resources that I would hope would be found in it (a list that includes some I already own and non-Catholic/Orthodox ones) include:
https://www.logos.com/product/160607/old-testament-xv-apocrypha
The relevant handbooks from https://www.logos.com/product/39479/ubs-handbook-series-old-testament-and-apocrypha
https://www.logos.com/product/163080/sirach
https://www.logos.com/product/32166/come-and-see-wisdom
https://www.logos.com/product/41458/the-anchor-yale-bible-the-wisdom-of-ben-sira
https://www.logos.com/product/163082/first-and-second-maccabees
https://www.logos.com/product/50215/hermeneia-2-maccabees-a-critical-commentary
Perhaps also https://www.logos.com/product/56707/ignatius-catholic-study-bible-daniel
Naturally, the absence of a book from the above list is not a vote against it, nor might the absence of one or more of the above volumes necessarily make a Deuterocanon Study Collection unattractive.

I guess. But a Catholic product seems depressing ... no offense intended. They're jewish writings fully speaking to the OT (rumored to be jewish) and most of the NT (also rumored to be mostly jewish).
I guess the depressing part (which also applies to the apostolic fathers) is the denominational fences (mainly from the evangel-side, my impression).
Ok, a deuterocanon collection.

I agree although for somewhat different reasons. It is not desirable for Faithlife to promote the misconception that the canon issue is Protestant/Catholic. It is Protestant/Septuagint-Anglican-Catholic-Eastern Orthodox-Lutheran-Oriental Orthodox-some mainstream Protestants-some Evangelical scholars ...
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

For the record, I asked in this forum because I wanted the collection to actually happen.

I specifically included non catholic resources and indeed some volumes also mentioned are done by protestants. Indeed some of the best classic volumes to include might come from the speakers commentary but that has yet to make it into proction levels to get it out of community pricing. That said the 3 Cambridge school volumes are quite well done and worth owning.
