I have a collection based on a tag "non-canonical to some" which is my attempt at an ecumenical apocrypha list i.e. everything someone considers apocrypha regardless of majority or personal view. The collection includes texts, translations, and commentaries but not studies. I have nearly 200 items in the collection so consistency becomes an issue. When should I expect to see these resources tagged with milestone? A quick sample showed
- WITH milestones
- Cassels, Walter Richard. The Gospel according to Peter: A Study: Greek. London; New York: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1894.
- Charles, R. H., ed. The Book of the Secrets of Enoch: Translation. Translated by W. R. Morfill. Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1896.
- Charles, R. H., ed. The Book of Jubilees or The Little Genesis: Translation. Translated by R. H. Charles. London: Adam and Charles Black, 1902.
- WITHOUT milestones
- Robinson, J. Armitage, ed. Coptic Apocryphal Gospels. Translated by Forbes Robinson. No. 2. Vol. 4. Texts and Studies: Contributions to Biblical and Patristic Literature. Cambridge: Cambridge at the University Press, 1896.
- Wright, W., ed. Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles: The English Translation. Vol. II. London; Edinburgh: Williams and Norgate, 1871.
- James, Montague Rhodes. Apocrypha Anecdota. Edited by Montague Rhodes James and J. Armitage Robinson. No. 3. Vol. 2. Texts and Studies: Contributions to Biblical and Patristic Literature. Cambridge: Cambridge at the University Press, 1893.
It was so tempting to induce that if the authors' last name began with a "C" ... more seriously, I didn't see the pattern for what does or does not get milestones. That is my question.
My suggestion is that the LCV be expanded to include these texts and that the resources be partially tagged i.e. direct use of person, place, thing be tagged but not indirect use (antecedents to pronouns etc.)
