A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture
What can I expect from this work? Can I expect lots of quote's from the early Church, like ACCS or no?

I'm unable to find a sample online even from sites selling a reprint. Sorry, but I can't help.

I have had a hard copy of this for years. It is dated 1968 as I recall. Prior to about 1990 it was probably the only Catholic originated commentary available.
I guess I could scan an entry and post as a graphic of someone is vitally interested in seeing something, don't know how to share otherwise [:D]. I have enjoyed having it for years, I think it is a good addition to the Logos library.
Some things are a little out dated, but others you get a much better appreciation for the Early Church Fathers/tradition of commentary scholarship. One example, dates/orders/origination of the authorship of the books. If you like Catena Aurea you will like the source/scholarship of this, although this is a full commentary not quotes etc. like Catena Aurea.

What about the Jerome Commentary? It would be a fine Catholic addition to Logos. Is it on Pope Benedict's bad list, or visit unavailable for some other reason. I think it is still one of the best scholarly one volume works of recent decades. I think Father Raymond Brown was involved in the project.

Dominick, would be interested in a few pages from the New Testament. Say the book of Revelation.
Thanks.

That's because, as I understand it, it's still under copyright. Logos must have struck a great deal to be able to put it in CP.

Can the rest of you actually see that TOC? I can't.Dominick Sela said:Prior to about 1990 it was probably the only Catholic originated commentary available.
My hardback Jerome has an original copyright of 1968.
One of the things that might be interesting to know about this commentary is that Orchard seems to have been a very firm believer in the priority of Matthew.
Btw, I just found a couple of Wikipedia pages that look useful as inspiration to new suggestions (provided the authors have been translated...).
(I also found the Biblical software page, which seems to believe Logos is still =Libronix... [:D] Good reminder never to put too much trust in Wikipedia.)

Ah! [:$]
Interesting TOC. Separate chapters on things like Mary in the Bible, the 'brethren of the Lord', the second coming...

I will scan a few pages of Revelation in the next day or so. Stay tuned!
Also - Jerome 1968 was available in Logos but no longer is, as others have reported. Logos is trying to get the new Jerome (1990) but no news yet; so pray and cross fingers!0

OK, here are the first 3 pages of Revelation - "Apocalypse". The scan isn't the greatest due to the thickness of the book (1300+ pages), but hopefully this gives you an idea of the commentary. I tried my best! [:$]

Thanks Dominick. Definitely worth the cost. I also put in a bid for Dictionrary of Greek and Roman Antiquities. http://www.logos.com/product/20315/dictionary-of-greek-and-roman-antiquities and Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities. http://www.logos.com/product/20311/dictionary-of-greek-and-roman-biography-and-mythology

The link to this is currently coming up with an internal server error. Let's hope they get it fixed soon...
I think it will end up at 12 or 15 if they get it fixed soon.

If you couldn't bid on this Sunday, because the page was down, don't forget to bid on it now.
A few more bidders and it'll go for $16.
