The Anglican Canon is set out in Article VI of the 39 Articles. It
lists the books of the Hebrew canon, and goes on:
"And the other Books (as Hierome saith) the Church doth read for
example of life and instruction of manners; but yet doth it not apply
them to establish any doctrine; such are these following:
"The Third Book of Esdras
The Fourth Book of Esdras
The Book of Tobias
The Book of Judith
The rest of the Book of Esther
The Book of Wisdom
Jesus the Son of Sirach
Baruch the Prophet
The Song of the Three Children
The Story of Susanna,
Of Bel and the Dragon
The Prayer of Manasses
The First Book of Macabees
The Second Book of Maccabees.
"All the Books of the New Testament, as they are commonly received, we
do receive, and account them Canonical."
These "other books" were relegated in Anglican Bibles to an appendix
which it called the "Apocrypha"; other protestant churches rejected
them altogether, and their bibles do not contain these books at all.
