Please add the following works to the Classic Commentaries and Studies on Matthew Upgrade:

Works in English:

  • Kilpatrick, G. D.The Origins of the Gospel according to St Matthew. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1946.
  • Bacon, B. W.Studies in Matthew. London: Constable, 1930.

Works in German:

  • Weiss, B.Das Matthäus-Evangelium. 9th edn. G¨ottingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1898

  • Zahn, D. T.Das Evangelium des Matth¨ aus. Kommentar zum Neuen Testament. Leipzig: Georg B¨ohme, 1903.

  • Schlatter, A. Der Evangelist Matthäus: Seine Sprache, sein Ziel, seine Selbst¨ andigkeit. Stuttgart: Calwer Verlag, 1982.

These works are important in the research history of Matthew. The mentioned dates are the dates of the latest reprint. The original works were published earlier, and I guess are free of copyright now.

    We already have B.W. Bacon's Studies in Matthew in that product. Do you perhaps mean some other book?

    And G.D. Kilpatrick's book is not in the public domain. If we acquired that book, we would be unable to include it in this collection, as we'd have to get it contracted and pay royalties on it. (that is to say, you would see it on Pre-Pub--not Community Pricing. I will pass this along to the appropriate person).

    As for those German volumes, all German volumes are going through our German product manager, since we now have one of those. :) I'll pass those book suggestions along to him. Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply. You're right, Bacon is included! Upon furthur inspection, I see Zahn is also included in the Upgrade.

    Thanks for forwarding the German volumes to the German product manager. I don't like the German language, but some classic studies are in German, with no English or Dutch translation available. And when having to use a commentary, Logos is the best way to do it.

    Hi!

    I am the aforementioned German Product Manager!

    We are hoping to have all three of these Books soon.

    • The Book by Bernhard Weiss is going to be part of a bigger collection that we hope to have on CP soon(Meyer's Kritisch-exegetischer Kommentar)
    •  The Zahn Book, at first glance,  should be an earlier edition of what we already offer in the Commentaries on Matthew Upgrade( https://www.logos.com/product/38824/classic-commentaries-and-studies-on-matthew-upgrade#015 , please correct me if I am wrong)
    • And the Version that you listed for the Schlatter is non-PD. We are looking at a couple of earlier Versions that are PD, but want to assure first that it hasn't undergone fundamental changes, as it has a different title, different lengths and chapters, etc. If we cannot find a suitable version in PD, we would have to go the same route as for the Kilpatrick book...

    Hope this helps! If you have any other German specific questions, feel free to post them here, but also in the German Subforum, as I am more likely to come across it there!

    Since Schlatter died in 1938, all his works are in the PD and the 7th ed. 1982 version (828 pg) likely is a 1:1 reprint of the 1933 second edition (which has 815 +xii pages. Even the binding and cover look the same on photos. [aside: even if someone actually changed Schlatter's work in these 50 years, I'd prefer the "real thing" anyway, but that's me]
