I once found a copy of the Epistle to the Laodicdeans inserted into a Bible manuscript at the Ambrosiana. It was included with the accepted letters of Paul. It is a pastiche of excerpts from the Pauline corpus.

Yes, the Gospel of Nicodemus has been rightly classified as "non canonical". However, if we remember that in the wait for the decision of the Council of Trent, in 1546, significant variants, the habit of copying books separately, the expense of books, the illiteracy of both laymen and clergy were all fragmenting the wieght of the label "canonical". In the meanwhile, there were favorite non-canonical books like "The Gospel of Nicodemus" which gained status. The number of copies of this work are a witness.

Thank you. I hadn't actually considered that possibility!

I don't see it included in the medieval Vulgate, where it is translated (French or English), it is frequently alone or with non-biblical texts.

Subject: Re: [M-R] history of English Bible translationmedieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and cultureThis is a lovely resource. Thank you, Dr. Peckham.
I have a question for clarity, please. One of your headings refers to translations including a book from The Apocrypha. By "Apocrypha" do you mean the deutero-canonical books?
Thank you
Jaye Procure
