Thanks, NB.Mick, SineNomine & Ken!
The prioritization worked flawlessly! (Made some tests with the Catholic Topical Index, and it worked fine) [8-|]
Ken: thanks for sharing the screenshot of your personal prioritizations. Is there a reason why you have prioritized the ACW-bundle above the Fathers of the Church -series? E.g. what's your reason for preferring the one above the other, if I may ask?
Blessings!
Is there a reason why you have prioritized the ACW-bundle above the Fathers of the Church -series?
I will fully grant that the quality of sets varies - especially in sets that have been published over decades. I certainly understand why people have recommended purchasing the Fathers of the Church before ACW - since Fathers of the Church is much more complete. It is just that when I have found both editions exist of a work, the ACW volumes are better annotated. I first saw this in comparing their notes on Justin Martyr's Apologies - which is admittedly not fair since the ACW volume is a lot more recent. But it was a tendency that I saw continuing. ACW had deeper notes than CUA's Fathers of the Church. Not that Fathers of the Church is bad, but I found more than a few times where the note in ACW would be a page or more talking about how the passage in question fits in with the thoughts of the church.
And sometimes this reaches the main text too. In https://ref.ly/logosref/Cyprian.De_unit._eccl._4 ACW translates both textual traditions in parallel - bringing to light the textual problem which must be considered. Fathers of the Church does not - and doesn't mention it in the footnotes there either. Instead, it mentions what text it is translating, and that there is considerable debate about this text in the introduction to the treatise, with some footnotes to papers on the issue in French. And in this case, the two volumes were published only a year apart.

Thanks for clarifying! [Y]
A handful of these volumes in the New City Press translation of Augustine's Complete Works for the 21st Century are included in the Free Book + promotions from Verbum this month.
This would be a great time to get the latest volume from this series into Logos/Verbum as a follow up to this month's free book"

This was the first time I already had everything from the BOTM list
Same here. It's the monthly downside of having a largish library!
Expositions which to my knowledge were last translated to English in the 19th century.
Which writings are you referring to?
The Verbum specials this month are particularly good, even for us Protestants. For the good of the church, we should want these texts in as many hands as possible.
