Factbook Entry Suggestion: Metatron
Can there be a factbook entry for Metatron? (No, this is not a cartoon villain.) I did a quick search in my library for headword:metatron and I got these three results:
Cyclopaedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature
The Return of the Kosher Pig: The Divine Messiah in Jewish Thought
I know only two of those are dictionaries but maybe there are more in the store. Also, maybe Faithlife can add an entry to the Lexham Bible Dictionary or some other Lexham reference work.

In the past, FL has refused to add the Tannaim and Amoraim so I could tag the rabbis of the Talmud, so I hope you have success so I can "demand" my request be met as well. [:)]

https://ref.ly/logosres/eerddictearjud?hw=Metatron (this EDEJ article seems very comprehensive to me)
https://ref.ly/logosres/sfdsprtltybwsdm?hw=Me%E1%B9%ADa%E1%B9%ADron (that's a quick glossary entry like the one from "pig" but with the nuance being on angel rather than messiah)
Have joy in the Lord!

A dictionary that I wish I owned but don't sadly. Faithlife rarely puts it on sale and never puts it in a base package I can afford. It's been on my wishlist forever.

Maybe we should just lobby them to put the whole EDEJ into Factbook? It's in some Verbum and Logos 10 offerings, as well as legacy libraries.

They do have Factbook entries for these:

I meant the names of the various rabbis who fall into these categories. I didn't know the same term could be used for their writings.

The operative phrase in my post was "a base package I can afford." I know it's in base packages. And the Foundation bundle doesn't have anything else that I want in it so it doesn't make sense to get it through that bundle.
