Notes
Only the second volume of the Bible here contains part of the Old Testament, the Apocrypha, and the New Testament.
The Apocrypha refers to a collection of ancient writings that are included in some versions of the Bible but are not considered canonical by all Christian traditions. These texts, written between 200 BCE and 100 CE, include books such as Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, and 1 and 2 Maccabees. They are found in the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) and the Latin Vulgate but are excluded from the Hebrew Bible.
While considered deuterocanonical by the Catholic and Orthodox churches, the Apocrypha is generally regarded as non-canonical by Protestant traditions. These books provide historical, moral, and theological insights, bridging the gap between the Old and New Testaments, and remain a valuable resource for understanding Jewish and early Christian thought.
