I would like to use the Text Comparison tool to compare Recensions A & B of the Testament of Abraham which are in the same resource.Charlesworth, James H. The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha. Vol. 1. New York; London: Yale University Press, 1983. Please make it possible.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I think, in this case the better way would be for FL to produce a second resources (like they do in other cases with alternative text traditions, such as the LXXs): Splitting up a former printed book into several technical resources, alongside with appropriate tagging, to allow scrolling along (for EYEBALL comparison) and text comparison, even prioritization etc. seems to be the gold standard for Logos/Verbum. I can't see a reasonable change in the tool that would accommodate comparing two recensions within one resource.

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    @NB.Mick You may be right - but given my hatred of the side-effects of the split resources, you'll not see me recommending that. And no, hatred is not a hyperbole here.
