Apocrypha - a nuclus of 14 or 15documents written during the
last 2 centuries before Christ + the 1st C of the Chrisian era.
Old Testament - 39 books New Testament - 27 books
In 1546 the Roamn Church officially declared Tobit,
Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, I + II Maccabees, +
certain supplementary parts of Esther + David to be
inspired + on a par with the books of the Old Testament,
among wich these are interspersed. Some Catholic
scholars have designated these desputed books as
dustero canonical, meaning thereby books accepted as
canonical at a later date than the others, which are
turned protocanonical. It is usual among Roman Catholics
to apply the term Apocrypha to the books which
others commonly designate Pseudepigraphs.

-Coverdale had the Apocrypha en bloc between the Testaments
except Baruch which he places after Jeremiah.
- The apocryphal books are the weakest part of the
Authorized Verison.

written - esp. in France during the 100 yrs following 1175. The strong
hand of Philip Augustus (1180-1223) had affected a aonsiderable
degree of security in France enabling the arts to flourish. WIth the reign
of St. Louis (1226-70) intellectual leadership moved from the
monasteries to the universities where the friars, especially the
Dominicans played a great part. St. Louis gathered an
important theological library in the treasury of the St. Chapelle,
remarking that a church without books was like an army without
weapons. Manuscript production now passed mainly to
commerical workshops which were to be found near the
universities in Paris + elsewhere.
