I've just checked and, as far as I can see, the subscription only includes one apparatus - the one you are showing

What were you expecting to see here?

@Graham Criddle I was watching some logos help on searching greek textual variants... I suspected that having the MAX an gold woul have givin me some options more than what is there.. again. I I have to purchase everything why the subscriptions... doesn't it give access? Max is supposed to be for more greek and hebrew searching.

I think i'm expecting more out of this MAX and gold then what is really there..

Just looking at the offering, with the inclusion of Tregalles, no-royalties seems the key. I wouldn't call the SBL a usable apparatus … more handy for classing by mss-group.

Max is supposed to be for more greek and hebrew searching.

As far as I can see, the major increase in Max over Pro is in functionality as opposed to resources (although it does have more exegetical-type commentaries).

In terms of features it adds in things such as:

Support for Semantic Roles
Support for Case Frames and Lemma in Passage sections in Guides
Tagging for a range of constructs such as Greek 1st and 2nd class conditions
The Morph Query functionality
Ability to do Syntax Searches

Yes…if you want to do bible study at the, "what does this verse mean to me" level, you can do that pretty cheaply. But if you want to do any serious study in a number of different avenues (including textual variants), you are going to pay, and pay.

@DMB hi, are you saying there is one available to add to my collection that is not an arm and leg..

Tregalles?

Randall Mueller

I'd like to build a $ commentary and such to have .. on a low $ budget… I have Gold/Max.. here is what I have when viewing "textual variant"

Tregalles referred to the greek text (in Max). Not many would start out with Tregalles greek, but no royalties for FL. And SBL liked it.

Doc B's post was cogent … basically budget for what is missing for you. The big boys want their money (NA or UBS variants). Even Tichendorf (dated and 'non-standard) would still run you $50 … good history but not your first choice.
