	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canon of the New Testament
		120) Basilides, the Alexandrian leader of a Gnostic sect, wrote a commentary on "the Gospel" which is known by the allusions to it in the Fathers to have comprised the writings of the Four Evangelists.
		Cyprian, whose Scriptural Canon certainly reflects the contents of the first Latin Bible, received all the books of the New Testament except Hebrews, II Peter, James, and Jude; however, there was already a strong inclination in his environment to admit II Peter as authentic.
		The Muratorian Canon or Fragment, composed in the Roman Church in the last quarter of the second century, is silent about Hebrews, James, II Peter; I Peter, indeed, is not mentioned, but must have been omitted by an oversight, since it was universally received at the time.

	The Oracles of God - Introduction
		Eventually, this wider canon became the one adopted by the Roman Catholic Church at the Council of Trent, while the Hebrew canon was endorsed by Protestants on the notion that it predated Jesus and was the canon he used.
		Collins argues that the canon was closed for all Jews around the end of the first century, but that the canon chosen was a canon that took shape among one sect of Jews (presumably certain Pharisees) before the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70.
		His theory that the entire canon was formed early not only is supported by historical evidence, but also by the currently scholarly consensus on the date of the composition or final editing of all of the OT books (with the exception of Daniel).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canon of the Old Testament
		The completion of the Jewish Canon, by the addition of the Prophets and Hagiographa as bodies to the Law, is attributed by conservatives to Esdras, the priest-scribe and religious leader of the period, abetted by Nehemias, the civil governor; or at least to a school of scribes founded by the former.
		We are therefore forced to admit that the leaders of Alexandrian Judaism showed a notable independence of Jerusalem tradition and authority in permitting the sacred boundaries of the Canon, which certainly had been fixed for the Prophets, to be broken by the insertion of an enlarged Daniel and the Epistle of Baruch.
		The 59th (or 60th) canon of the provincial Council of Laodicea (the authenticity of which however is contested) gives a catalogue of the Scriptures entirely in accord with the ideas of St. Cyril of Jerusalem.

	Canon Supplement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		The Alexandrian Canon powerfully influenced the fourth-century scholar Saint Jerome, who in the late fourth and early fifth century translated the Greek Septuagint (a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible according to the Alexandrian Canon) into the Latin Vulgate, adding to it the New Testament.
		The earliest attempt at a canonical collection (or at least the first writer to actually visualize the idea of a New Testament collection to match the canonicity of the old Testament) actually comes from a heretical author.
		His canon was possibly approved at the Synod of Rome in 382 and papal declaration made it official in the year 405--but the evidence here is a bit murky.

	The Old Testament
		Among other versions, the two main Canons of the Old Testament are the "Palestinian Canon", also known as the "Hebrew or Masoretic Text" and the "Alexandrian Canon" also known as the "Septuagint" translation.
		The Deuterocanonical books of the Alexandrian Canon were understood in a pedagogic light and thus the Septuagint received its authority because it was adopted by the Church.
		Although the local Synod of Jerusalem in 1672 stipulated that the Alexandrian Canon was to be used, the second Canon of the Council of Trullo (691) sanctioned the use of the Hebrew Canon.

	The Apocrypha
		Not only is there no evidence that a different canon was was promulgated by the Alexandrian Jews, there is no evidence that ANY canon was promulgated from the Alexandrian Jews who, in all likelihood, followed the lead of the Palestinian Jews (for that is where the temple and the high priest were).
		Now, in regard to the canonical Scriptures, he must follow the judgment of the greater number of catholic churches; and among these, of course, a high place must be given to such as have been thought worthy to be the seat of an apostle and to receive epistles.
		The theory that an open canon was closed at the Synod of Jamnia about AD 90 goes back to Heinrich Graetz in 1871, who proposed (rather more cautiously than has since been the custom) that the Synod of Jamnia led to the closing of the canon.

	Spero Forum - Baptist, Protestant, and Catholic Discussion - A Historical look At the Alexandrian Canon
		Accepting this as true, most scholars view this Alexandrian canon as being a deviation of the Hebrew canon that would have been accepted by the Israelis.
		Yet others view the Alexandrian canon as being more correct, viewing the Hebrew canon, which does not hold the Deutero-canon as being the actual deviation.
		Thus, it seems more likely that it was the Alexandrian canon that deviated from the Hebrew one.

		Precisely the same canon was solemnly affirmed in the fourth century at the Council of Hippo and Council of Carthage, in the fifteenth century at the Council of Florence, again at the sixteenth century Council of Trent, again at the Second Vatican Council, and at other times by various channels.
		The canon of Scripture proclaimed by the Roman Catholic Church is the same canon as that which passed into her hands in the first century, and which was officially defined no more than three centuries later.
		Unlike the Protestant canon, whose Old Testament portion is based on the doctrine of the non-Christian synod of Jamnia, and which the early Church rejected, the true and complete canon has persisted unaltered in the Catholic Church since the first century.

		It is not surprising then that the Christians rejected this Jewish Old Testament canon, and continued to use the Septuagint, a Greek version of the Old Testament produced in Alexandria beginning in the third century BC.
		It is this edited canon of the Old Testament that is now in almost universal use, and is regarded as authoritative amongst traditions as diverse as Presbyterianism and Jehovah's Witnesses.
		A basic knowledge of the process of canonization ensures that any concept of inerrancy is untenable, a weakness of those who have (to quote Luther) "swallowed the Holy Spirit feathers and all".

		These are held as canonical, not, by the Jews, but by the Church, on account of the extreme and 'wonderful sufferings of certain martyrs…The Jews do not have this Scripture which is called Maccabees, as they do the law and the prophets, to which the Lord bears testimony as to his witnesses.
		Another problem with the Alexandrian canon theory is that it has not been shown conclusively that the Alexandrian Jews or the other Jews of the Dispersion were any more likely to adopt other writings as sacred scriptures than were the Jews Palestine in the two centuries BCE and the first century CE.
		This fact undermines the theory of a broader Essene canon and leads to the conclusion that the canon of the Essenes was the same as that of Judaism in general.

		The end of the Urgeschichte is signaled by Origen in his treatment of divergent views in the Christian community regarding the precise delimitation of that literature, a discussion in whish Hanhart does not hesitate to use the terms `Palestinian' and `Alexandrian' canon(s).
		The three-fold canonical system is only glimpsed, perhaps in deference to a Christian understanding of Scripture that emphasizes their `prophetic' function.

	Could we discover additional parts of the Bible?
		The content of the Bible, that is, the ‘canon,’ is a fixed list of books that was defined in the early centuries by the Jews (in the case of the Old Testament) and the Church (in the case of the New Testament).
		Since about 70 scholars were involved in the project of translating the Hebrew Bible into Greek, their translation is called the Septuagint, from a word meaning ‘seventy.’ The books that are on the Alexandrian list but not on the Palestinian list are called the Apocrypha.
		This name is mainly used by Protestants who do not regard these books as fully canonical or not canonical at all.

		The Protestant Old Testament, which contains 39 books, comes from the Palestinian Canon — which (as the name would indicate) is the set of scriptures which originated from Palestine and which were recognized by the Jews.
		The Catholic Old Testament, however, derives its books from the Alexandrian Canon — the Greek listing of Old Testament books, which was supposedly drawn up in Alexandria, Egypt.
		So, it is very important for all of us to recognize that there is a vast distinction between the apocrypha, or the “hidden books,” and the Canon of Scripture.

	Rebuttal to Johnny Bravo: Christian Scholars refuting the status of the NT as an inspired scripture [Part 7]
		Yet, despite these additions to the canonical works, Athanasius believed that these 22 books alone were the divinely inspired OT Scriptures from which the Church was to draw her doctrine of salvation.

	CUF.org :: Catholics United for the Faith
		While we know that at the time of Jesus there were different canons of the Old Testament because the canonical process was not yet complete, the glorious truth is that God has invited humans to be partners in the putting together of Scripture.
		Still more Protestants claim that the Church did not authoritatively define the canon of Scripture until the Council of Trent and, since that Council was a reaction to the Reformation, the deuterocanon can be considered an “addition” to the original Christian canon.
		A thousand years later, while seeking reunion with the Copts, the Church affirmed the same canon at the ecumenical[16] Council of Florence in 1442.[17] When the canon became a serious issue following the Protestant schism in the early 1500s, Trent dogmatically defined what the Church had consistently taught for more than 1,000 years.
