Bible Books Explorer - Enoch citation

Maybe I don't see it but in the Bible Books Explorer I can't find an Intertext link to the book of Enoch. Neither citation, quotation, allusion nor echo. But afaik Jude 14b is a citation of 1 En 1:9 - and if it is so why doesn't it show in the intertext panel diagram?

Logos has a narrow view of canonical books which they have expanded but one still has to play tricks with prioritization to get it to treat Enoch as a Bible reference. None of the Logos built data treats it as canonical/biblical.

If you open an Ancient Literature guide section, it shows up under Old Testament: Pseuedpigrapha. It is just not tagged as a Bible book.

It is just not tagged as a Bible book.

Nor is it included as an New Testament use of the Old Testament.

Ok, but En is shown in the "Intertext" diagram - so why include it there?

Intertext is broader than just Scripture. It include pseudepigrapha, dead sea scrolls sectarian material, and some other stuff too. Since Logos does not count Enoch as Scripture, it will not show up in the NT use of the OT data, but does show up in other intertext searches (like the Ancient Literature guide). If you right click the verse in Jude, you will see several other intertext tags. You are just looking for a broad result from a narrow tool.

Alright, got it. Thank you for the explanation.
