  • 7 more than are in the Protestant Canon: Tobit, Judith, 1 & 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, and Baruch. Additionally, there are also extra/deutero-canonical additions to Esther and Danielin the Catholic canon. The 7 books plus the additions to Daniel and Esther, though part of the Catholic Old Testament are not part of the Hebrew/Jewish Canon either. The Eastern Orthodox, however, include the same 7 books plus 3 more (3 Maccabees, 1 Esdras, & Odes) plus an extra psalm in Psalms. The Oriental Orthodox also place high value on Jubilees and 1 Enoch--while not exactly canonizing either. These books were seemingly written originally in Greek, not Hebrew, and were incorporated into the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Tanach (the OT) and 15 other apocryphal works, 7 of which were canonized at the Council of Trent, in 1545, though rejected by the Rabbinical council of Jamnia around 85 AD.
