How to choose favored sources?

I'm having trouble finding a way to set my preferences on which sources are shown when hovering over a link. For example, If I hover over a citation of Matthew 5:40, Logos will pull up the text from the NRSV in a small preview box. I can change that by changing my preferred Bible.

What I'm having trouble with, however, is in setting preferences for citations not in my favored Bible. For example, citations from Enoch simply bring me to a page advertising Charlesworth's pseudapigrapha. I'd like Logos to bring me to the Lexham LXX translation instead. How could I make this happen?

Hi Cody - and welcome to the forums

You do this using Prioritization

In this case, ensuring that the LXX translation has a higher priority than Charlesworth

Some guidelines on prioritization are at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019683652-Prioritize-Resources

Thanks Graham! I've already tried setting the Lexhamm LXX as a preferred resource, and I don't even own Charlesworth (Logos just lists it as an option to buy when I click on references to Enoch).

Even if I do an advanced preference and set the Lexham LXX specifically to be preferred for Enoch, Logos still doesn't bring it up as an option when clicking on citations of Enoch.

I haven't encountered this problem with other books yet, even other apocryphal and pseudapigraphal works.

Can you give an example (resource, page number, etc) where this happens?

I don't quite understand what you are describing

Sure. I'm using Paul Achtemeier's commentary on 1 Peter from the Hermeneia series. In it, he cites 1 Enoch several times (e.g. on page 300 he cites 1 Enoch 48:10). Clicking on these citations, however, doesn't bring me to the translation of Enoch in the LXX. Instead, it pulls up the Power Lookup tool and gives me a list of resources to buy that include Enoch (Charlesworth being among them).

Even though I've set the Lexham English LXX as a preferred resource, and even though the Lexham LXX does include Enoch, it is not listed under power lookup and the links in Achtemeier's commentary will not bring me to the Lexham translation.

Sorry - but I can't see any reference to Enoch in that resource. Can you show a screenshot?

But I have checked a reference to 1 Enoch in another resource and - as expected for me - it shows the LES

I'll interject myself here with an off the wall comment. If you look at the right click context menu you will see on the left:

By creating Searches I can identify the real difference. <BibleCAP = Enoch 48:10> vs. <Pseudepigrapha = 1 Enoch 48.10> i.e. one looks for a Bible with the reference while the other looks for pseudepigrapha with the reference.

Yep! That seems to be it. The commentary (also found this to happen in P. Davids commentary on 1 Peter as well) treats the reference as OT Pseudapigrapha, and the Lexham LXX has it as a scripture reference. So is there no way to amend this from my end?

Just speculating, the Enoch references above, are the Parables (which aren't in the LXX). Ergo, the Charlesworth query. Prioritizing my Enoch resources works uniformly correct, in pulling the LXX where not the Parables.

Thanks Denise. You're right, that particular reference isn't in the LXX, however, this problem persists even in texts that are in the LXX. The only reference I've gotten to work so far is 1 Enoch 1-2, which brings up Swete's Alternate text (which I haven't even prioritized).

Actually, I think I've got it figured out. The Lexham LXX seems to be translated from a Greek manuscript, whereas the citations I'm seeing are from the Ethiopic Enoch. I guess I'll have to invest in Charlesworth then.

Yes, a milestone search finds only 4 volumes of Charlesworth . . . mouse over shows you that its Ethiopic
