AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

My choice from the resource menu:

If I choose 4 Maccabees 1:1 and Power Lookup I get:

but if I chose 4 Maccabees 1.1 I get

What is the rationale behind this distinction?

    I think this is because 4 Macc. is in the (N)RSV as a book of the Bible, and so the Bible datatype, and is also in the Pseudopigrapha datatype.  The problem, as I see it, is for Logos to give enough information in the menus for the user to know which datatype they are using for the reference without overwhelming people.  The current implementation does not give the needed information at all about which type it is talking about, but the results will be different depending on which menu item you pick - BAD interface design...

    The second set of references are in the resource for backwards compatibility with how it needed to be encoded in LDLS3. They could probably be removed now (although that would be a breaking change if there are still any older resources that link to the older data type).

    There are several dozen resources in this category. They would need to be put on the rebuild queue (and upgraded from Pseudepigrapha to Bible references) first.
