[CLOSED] Please combine

[Gonçalo]

Please combine:

1) The portuguese edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

2) To the main page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Thanks

[Bruno]

First, you should have made this request in the apprpriate section, which would be Book and Author Page Issues.
This request doesn't involve adding new books or editions.

Second, these editions are not the same.
The portuguese is a commentary on St. Luke Gospel.
The english edition is a commentary on 4 Gospels.

So, not combined

[Gonçalo]

Dear Bruno,

I'm sorry I included this request in the wrong section.
But regarding the request itself I think I'm right.

Please notice that the Catena Aurea is in fact a 4 volume series of commentaries on the 4 Gospels:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1262...

I already placed a request (in the right section I hope) for someone to correct the order and add the missing Gospel:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

In the following links you can see the 4 volumes share the same latin title (Catena Aurea) plus the subtitle (Commentary on the Gospels):

Vol. 1 Matthew:

Vol. 2 Mark:

Vol. 3 Luke:

Vol. 4 John:

Thanks for your work on Goodreads!

Hello Gonçalo,

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

The series is fixed:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1262...

And these books are combined:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

[Gonçalo]

Great!

Final request I forgot to mention before:

Could you please just edit their first publication year to 1267?
It is the most consensual date among scholars for its conclusion.

Vol. 1 shows 1841
Vol. 2 shows 2015
Vol. 3 shows 1997
Vol. 4 shows 1980
1-4 shows 2005

[Bruno]

Sure.

You seem to be knowledgeable about this.
Can you provide the original (latin?) names for all 5 books?

[Gonçalo]

Vol. 1: Catena Aurea in Quatuor Evangelia: Expositio Continua super Evangelium Matthaei

Vol. 2: Catena Aurea in Quatuor Evangelia: Expositio Continua super Evangelium Marci

Vol. 3: Catena Aurea in Quatuor Evangelia: Expositio Continua super Evangelium Lucae

Vol. 4: Catena Aurea in Quatuor Evangelia: Expositio Continua super Evangelium Ioannis

1-4: Catena Aurea in Quatuor Evangelia

[Bruno]

Thank you.
All done

[Gonçalo]

Bruno,

Please check what happened in the Catena Aurea series:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1262...

It seems that after your work someone merged everything together except for Book 1

Do you know if it is possible to reverse it?

[Bruno]

To be honest, I don't really know what to do here.

A librarian wrongfully combined all these editions. Now we have 352 editions combined, and I won't risk trying to fix all those editions.

The best way would be to revert all changes he did, but I can't do that.

I tried to contact him, so that he fixes his own mess.
If he doesn't reply, I'll contact Support, maybe they can just revert these changes.
I'm trying to avoid that as it may put the librarian into trouble.

For now I'll wait for the librarian to reply. If you don't see any change in a few days, please post here to remind me about this problem.

[Gonçalo]

Hi Bruno,

No changes yet...

[Bruno]

Sorry, I only contacted GR Support today.
Let's see if they can fix this mess.
I'll keep you informed on this.

[Gonçalo]

Hi Bruno,
Thanks for your help!
But I see no changes...
