Finding ancient documents/books?


Ιακοβ

Recommended Posts

Sometimes I have a vague idea which module to start looking in, sometimes I have no idea. When I see this:

 

"Ancient church father Theodorus Lector, in his work, _Ecclesiastical History_ 2.557, stated..."

 

Is there a way to work out if I have access to this in Accordance? I assume the 2 would mean something like book two, no idea what 557 would mean.

 

Thanks!

I think that would be paragraph 557, or chapter 557. You'd have to open the reference to be sure.

 

You could always each for the stated text, or a word or phrase from it, in the research box "search all tools"

It's even more frustrating  in other software that is suppose to be dynamically tagged and linked. But researching the phrase may be the quickest way to locate it. It is what i had to do to locate the proper area in Eusebius Ecclesiastical History.
