List of New Testament Hapax Legomena
Here's a list of NT hapax legomena generated from Logos 5, with a bit of manipulating in Excel. The document contains two lists, one in Scripture order, and one in alphabetical order. (There's also a version for the Hebrew Bible.)
This is an updated file, which includes some corrections, and adds sub-headings and English glosses.

Thank you, Mark. Many people have been wanting something like this.
How hard would it be to do something similar for the OT?

How hard would it be to do something similar for the OT?
I'm already working on that. The process is essentially the same, but the far greater size of the OT makes it slower. It's also less clear as to which manuscript to use (BHS/WIVU, AFAT and Lexham Hebrew Bible are the options). Because of the complexities of Hebrew, the tagging systems often make quite different decisions regarding lemmas - particularly whether homonymns justify different lemmas or not.

I really appreciate your work on this too in light of our previous conversation.

Thanks, Mark.
Does anyone else [on a Mac] get endless beach balls trying to do anything at all in this resource? I recompiled and that helped a bit, but not enough, unfortunately. I'm wondering if it has to do with the warnings*, and if perhaps Mac is more sensitive to them than Windows?

fgh, I'm running L5 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on a MBP with a SSD and 8GB of RAM. I got the following warning messages after compiling this PB:
[Warning] Article 'A_SCRIPTUREORDER' has 54008 characters. Consider shortening this article.
[Warning] Article 'A_ALPHABETICALORDER' has 54001 characters. Consider shortening this article.
[The same errors that you got.]
Logos 5 was slow to open this PB from my library - and is slow at responding when I click on the arrow at the top-left of the screen to access the chapter hyperlinks. I was able to scroll reasonably freely up and down the PB, however if I tried dragging the slider to scroll right through the resource (i.e. from top to bottom), I would get the spinning beach ball for about five seconds at the half way point before it continued.

Paul, what happens when you click the alphabetical or scripture order headings in the TOC? What about widening and narrowing the TOC?

When I click on the alphabetical or scripture headings in the TOC, there was a slight delay and then the spinny beach ball for about two or three seconds. It would then allow me to freely click in the TOC (and instantly respond) a few times, however after a short while, I'd get the pause and spinny beach ball again and the pattern would repeat itself.
There's a big delay when I try and drag to widen / narrow the TOC. However, I don't get any spinny beach ball with the pause.

Thanks. It seems you're seeing the same thing I do, just a lot less of it due to your better computer. For me it's literally minutes of beach balls.
I'm guessing a few subheadings may do the trick: 'Gospels', 'Epistles', 'A-F'... Might try that later if Mark doesn't beat me to it.
EDIT: Oops, that should be Greek alphabet, not English, of course.[:)]

I did notice the warnings, and it's certainly the case that Logos' performance suffers with long articles (Logos resources often have hidden article breaks, but I don't think you can do these in Personal Books). On my PC though, the performance was pretty reasonable, so I left it as it was. I'm sure some strategically placed headings would fix things. If you don't mind, it may be better for you to do it - you could test it on your Mac, and make sure the number of headings was appropriate for the speed increase necessary.

I've broken down the two sections of this PB using level 2 headings - Scripture section by: Gospels, History (Acts), Pauline Epistles, General Epistles, Prophecy (Revelation)) and the Alphabetical section into four groups of 6 letters, and performance has improved a lot! There's still a slight hesitation when scrolling or opening the TOC pane, but performance for me is 100% better than before. Thanks for the suggestion fgh (and Mark)!
I've attached my edited file in case anyone wants to use (or improve) it.

Thanks to both of you for confirming that subheadings is the way to go, and thanks for the new file, Paul. I've had to divide it up even further, but I'm not used to working with tables, so seeing how you did it helped a lot. It works better now, but the level 1 headings have disappeared from the TOC and I'm too tired to figure out why, so I won't be posting my file before tomorrow.
Mark, there's an error in 1 Cor 2:4.

Just to let you know that I've worked out a way of getting English glosses in the list. Given that most of us don't know the meaning of hapax legomenas, I think that would be pretty useful, so I'm redoing the file with those included. I'll add sub-headings as I do, so I thought I'd let you know in case you preferred to wait, rather than add them yourself.

Mark, thanks so much for this.
For info, this file works well on my MacBook Pro - no doubt due to the many sub-headings Mark inserted in this file. Also, there were no warnings on compiling this PB. [Y]

Thanks, Mark. That works much better! And the English is a great improvement as well, of course.

Thanks Mark, really helpful. One question though: Why did you decide to leave out proper names? I thought they would belong in such a list, too.

I simply didn't feel they'd be useful, and other lists of Hapax Legomena I've seen also exclude proper nouns.

Well, one of the names is Emmanuel (Mt 1,23) – perhaps a borderline case? But I guess I understand your reasoning, most of the names are indeed perhaps not all that interesting.

That is great Mark. That will improve the document greatly. Do you mind sharing the process you used to also include the glosses?
