The Acts of Paul and Thecla

I'm trying to figure out if I have an apocryphal text called "The Acts of Paul and Thecla" in my library, but when I do a search on that title, it points to, say, an Ante-Nicene Fathers volume where that text doesn't actually show up that I can see. I find that a little frustrating - do I have it or not? It's happened in the past for other texts too.

Can anyone help suggest a better way to accurately figure out if I have a certain text in my library or not? Perhaps some method that I haven't thought of, but which will yield more accurate results? Especially when that text may simply be a "subtext" of some sort within a larger volume?

Thanks!

Hi @Carmen Gauvin-O'Donnell , it is indeed a book in my library - Barrier, Jeremy W. The Acts of Paul and Thecla: A Critical Introduction and Commentary. Edited by Jörg Frey. Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen Zum Neuen Testament. Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2009.

Here it is on logos.com to see if you own it:

Ok thanks Don, although what I'm more specifically trying to figure out is how to make it easier for me to see if a search result from my library is accurate, as opposed to seeing that such a book is available in Logos, see what I mean? But thanks for letting me know about the resource.

I thought the Ancient Literature feature (recent) did that (Factbook)? It is in ANF. I use oldie searches on heading/large-text.

Verbum, German UI. The Factbook search for the title points towards the resources in Logos / Verbum, among which an ANF volume which contains the text:

In my Logos, Factbook refers to Ante-Nicene Fathers 8 which DOES contain Acts of Paul and Thecla, and it opened it right up to it when I clicked on the link in Factbook:

The point is in your screenshot, though: Factbook has the entry as "Acts of Thekla" (yes, with a German K !) even though the timeline event is named "Acts of Paul and Thecla written".
