Thank you, Mattillo. I passed on this at its earlier price point. Now, it's moving in to a 'steal' territory.
I originally just put a low bid in but just raised my bid with the hope that the price will be reduced.
I really like the idea that Logos plans to update BDAG with active links to these volumes once they go into production. It is then we will see the real benefit of these.
Anyone else care to put in a bid and help lower the price? Remember, it is 17 volumes and the price is getting close to $29.
That's the reason why I bid on almost every CP; not the price for which it would likely go, but the price I'd consider a good deal (but not necessarily a 'steal'.)
That's some pretty obscure and esoteric stuff -- right up my alley! I'm in at that price.
Yes, and interesting too! Most are right on the 'cusp' of the papyri discoveries, though much work had been done on earlier papyri hoards. Here's my list I'd like:
For anyone with odd abilities to remember names, Francis Crawford Burkitt might ring a bell. The syriac name conventions above is Burkitt's. He was also heavy into trying to deduce the early NT manuscripts. Wrote the preface to the english translation of Schweitzer's Quest. And accompanied Agnes Smith to St Catherine's, regarding the old syriac manuscripts. He was a busy-boy!

And his volumes in Logos:

I’m more of a Semitics guy, but I’m in
I'm in. Thanks!
I put in a bid
I dont (yet) own BDAG, but hope to one day. would I be able to garner the full benefits of these resources without owning BDAG?
Well, the implication of the title is that this collection will be helpful, using BDAG ... presumably more active references you can click on. It's hard for me to imagine that being significant, beyond technical BDAG users. Indeed, the earlier version preceding BDAG likely has more technical merit, and per many threads, practical merit.
This collection, however, does fill in some gaps regarding greek development (contra an image of certainty, greek remains a discussion). The comparisons across languages are especially interesting, since the 'cosmos' at that time was again, a discussion in translation ... how do you communicate a 'first'?? What about ecclesiastic language for the Christians in north Africa (latin) vs those in southern Asia (greek).
So, it really depends on your interests. BTW, you really DO need BDAG (which you already knew).
Thanks Denise, that is very helpful. And yes, I do need BDAG... perhaps, one day the finance fairies will smile upon me!
Successful bid now down to $29
The entries by Buck and Gildersleeve alone are worth the $33.
+1 [Y] Concur plus hoping for more bids so Projected Price becomes $ 25
Thankful for Dark Mode 0.3.4 extension in Opera 68 web browser on macOS 10.15.5
Keep Smiling [:)]
Well! I thought maybe just my browser. The graph key describes colors not there. I notice your yellow = blue maybe. Hard to say.
hoping for more bids so Projected Price becomes $ 25
That would be great. Any more bidders?
You can ignore the graph and just look at the top as shown here:
i'm in!
Aw, c'mon. What'll I tell my wife? I'm in.
Though I already own BDAG on another Bible software—I am intrigued by this, but, I have NO idea how the bidding modules work (?).
I assume I just place a bid (although I wouldn’t have a clue how to do that)—and then what?
Oh, also wondering if I need to have BDAG in Logos (?).

1. Click on the graph to make a bid. In theory, the most you'd pay for it.
2. If there's cumulative bids at and above the cost to produce, it goes into production. The price to bidders is the lowest price, where that price times bidders at or above that price equals production costs.
3. If your bid is below that price, you loose out.
4. You get a warning at the tipping point, just in case. FL allows up to the 'following Friday' for you to change your bid.
5. Like all prepubs (after a successful community price), you get a heads up, before shipping, if wish to cancel.
6. Like all purchases, you get 30 more days to change your mind.
Confused? It's not intuitively obvious, especially #2.
BDAG: do you use it? And if not, why not? And if you do, why? It's sort of a 'right-click standard' (along with HALOT).
Ok—got it Denise. Much appreciated.
Oh, and yes, I do use BDAG a good bit.
It's down to $29, can we get it to $25?
Get in at $29 while you still can and help push the price down to $25. You get encyclopedic coverage of the Greek at over 5,500 pgs.
Just want to bump this again while there is still time. Any more bidders?
Closed at $29
