I was sure that I had ordered this - but I went to check my PrePubs there was no sign of it. So I went to check my previous orders, again nothing. And there was no e-mail. I was hurt - I was sure I had order it when it was in Community Pricing, but no sign of it. Got to the "Oh, well, I goofed" state.
I must have checked at just the wrong time. Ten minutes later my e-mail appears and Logos begins to download something (I assume Catena Aurea). Boy was I relieved - I really wanted it. I did get it. YES!!
ars and
1 Corinthians 12.26 . Good for you! NOw, where is my copy?

The same thing happened to me. Nothing there for several minutes, but when I visited the Catena Aurea web page, the order button was greyed out, suggesting I had pre-ordered it. I must have been been looking during the time between the resource going live and my order being processed. I got it and now it appears under order history. I was a little nervous for a little while but decided to believe anyway.
Indexing and open to Luke where I'm working. Looks like it was worth the "oh my goodness" CP price for sure!
Catena Aurea: Commentary on the Four Gospels (8 vols.)
Current price $99.99
Vol I parts 1,2,3
Vol II
Vol III
Vol Iv parts 1,2
That is SEVEN for a resource count of 4
Please advise - where is part 8?
Yes, that was a very good price. I have my copy in L3, but have yet to force a download in L4.
The product listing shows 8 volumes. My download was 4. I am assuming the parts are combined into the four gospels?

Luke (Vol 2) has two parts which are not distinguished. Don't you just hate it when confusion like this occurs? I remember years ago I called Logos to find out what happened to one of the volumes of the Nicene & Post-Nicene Fathers only to find that one of the volumes was an index which was not included since it wasn't felt to be necessary.
I got the email several hours ago. No download yet.
I have closed and restarted L4 several times now. Tried "update resources." Let it sit.
Nothing yet.

Mrs. Black shouldn't need to give you too much stick about this one [;)]

To get the price we did there had to be a LOT of us getting it - May be a server backlog [and with all the Black Friday sales still going out?]
When I start up, the L4 icon appears briefly in the tray, and I also get the "Logos is preparing your library" splash screen. But that's it.
Something seems amiss.

Prices that low don't normally need to be discussed. [:D]
I've had to wait several hours after getting the email, e.g. once 4 hours, once 7. I was amazed it did it so quickly today. I wish Logos would mention in their letter that it may not download for some time. (I've written the same to them, and had no reply, so I feel free to mention it in the forum.) Anyway, today it downloaded within minutes [:)]
Just showed up!
Thanks for listening to my whining! [;)]

Incidentally prepubs shipping date page has gone mad - it says Goettingen is still going to ship on 23rd, AND Catena Aurea (which I've already downloaded!) is available for me to buy (AGAIN!) for $59.95! (I got it on CP....) [*-)]
It was waiting to be downloaded when I got home a few minutes ago. Downloaded quickly, and is now indexing. I'm so happy to have this resource early on in Advent, and at such a phenomenal price. Thanks, Logos!
WHOA! Just got mine and I am shocked at how cool this is! Thanks everyone for talking me into getting this at Pre Pub price. What a steal----uh, deal!
As far as I can tell all 8 volumes are in the 4 resources we downloaded. Seems everything is there to me. If someone disagrees please say so!
Preface to Matthew:
For what is there that can equal these good tidings? God on earth, man in heaven; that long war ceased, reconciliation made between God and our nature, the devil overthrown, death abolished, paradise opened. These things, so far beyond our merits, are given us with all fulness; not for our own toil or labour, but because we are beloved of God.
(From Chrysostom's Homily on Matt 1:2)
This resource is worth far more to me than the pre-pub price I paid.
Thomas,I started in Luke, too. Seems like a good place to read with Christmas coming. I never get tired of reading the story of the Holy Birth!Peace,K
[y] Cheers for Rosie today!

I wanted to see if I could find this quote in the ECF (as I didn't purchase the CA for financial reasons). Well it was a little difficult.
First of all it's found in Homilies on Matthew, 1.4 (that's the homily number + the section number), and there's no verse references at all in that homily, so a reference search didn't find it. And of course, the ECF is a different translation, but I eventually found it by searching on "God on earth, man in heaven".
It turns out the quote is greatly edited. Here's the whole thing with the matching portion in bold:
What then could ever be equal to these good tidings? God on earth, man in Heaven; and all became mingled together, angels joined the choirs of men, men had fellowship with the angels, and with the other powers above: and one might see the long war brought to an end, and reconciliation made between God and our nature, the devil brought to shame, demons in flight, death destroyed, Paradise opened, the curse blotted out, sin put out of the way, error driven off, truth returning, the word of godliness everywhere sown, and flourishing in its growth, the polity of those above planted on the earth, those powers in secure intercourse with us, and on earth angels continually haunting, and hope abundant touching things to come.
Therefore he hath called the history good tidings, forasmuch as all other things surely are words only without substance; as, for instance, plenty of wealth, greatness of power, kingdoms, and glories, and honors, and whatever other things among men are accounted to be good: but those which are published by the fishermen would be legitimately and properly called good tidings: not only as being sure and immoveable blessings, and beyond our deserts, but also as being given to us with all facility.
For not by laboring and sweating, not by fatigue and suffering, but merely as being beloved of God, we received what we have received.Schaff, P. (1997). The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Vol. X (2). Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems.
Quite the condensation, no?
Cheers for Rosie today!
I too appreciate this resource AND Rosie's helpfulness. But I couldn't find the thread you were appealing to, concerning her.

[Y] Yep: I also signed up based on Rosie's blog post, and am pleased I did.
Yes, Thanks Rosie [Y][Y][Y]
Thanks everyone! I confess I would never have even heard of Catena Aurea if Martha (MJ Smith) hadn't been singing its praises before I ever signed on as a CP purchaser. I can't find the thread(s) where she mentioned it in the past, but it was because she wanted it so badly that I first bid on it. And then I started looking more into what it was and that's when I got motivated to write my blog post.
The fact that they've got each entry linked to its fuller context in Ante-Nicene Fathers and Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers is a bonus I wasn't expecting. Awesome!

Thanks Rosie AND Martha... I'm enjoying the resource, too...
Checked my "Commentaries" collection, & it was automatically included. I wasn't sure I would, but I'm REALLY learning to like these dynamic collections.
