Greek Pseudepigrapha is Closing In

This posting may sound like an advertisement, but it is not. I am not affiliated with the company concerned, but I simply want to support a good case, the digitalization of the pseudepigrapha and its incorporation into a relevant 'bible' program.

The Logos Bible Sofware has announced their publication within their Scholars Library Programs the Old Testament Greek Pseudepigrapha with Morphology. But as usually they present a prepublication period to see if there is enough interest in the marked.

Now it turns out that the presubscriptions have been a little lower than expected: According to a recent posting on their blog, the subscription period is closing in, and it has still not reached the anticipated level.
Hence, if you had planned to buy this item, don't hesitate, but make an subscription!

Well, this probably got the form of an advertisement after all. The fact is, I have subscribed to the texts, adn I would really like to see that the project got realized. That's my interest in the whole thing.

The good thing about having these Greek texts available, is that the English translation by Charles is already available; hence they can be used together. Even though Charles' is an older translation, it is still useful. I must admit I have greater problems with the old Yonge's translation of Philo's works that is also available at the Logos (and can be used together with the Greek Philo texts just published by Logos.)

Well, well time will tell, if I ever get the Greek Pseudepigrapha.

While speaking of the Pseudepigrapha, I also discovered some links I have not yet incorporated on my Resource Pages for Biblical Study: The Online Critical Pseudepigrapha.
