Abstract

This chapter contains texts, translations, and analysis of the nine early canon lists (Old Testament and/or New Testament) in Latin in probable chronological order: Muratorian Fragment, Codex Claromontanus, Mommsen Catalogue, Hilary of Poitiers, Jerome of Stridon, Rufinus of Aquileia, Breviarium Hipponense, Augustine of Hippo, and Pope Innocent I. The Latin West tells a slightly different story of the canon to the Greek East. Only Hilary, Jerome, and Rufinus present the OT canon similar to the Jews and the Greek lists, while Mommsen, Breviarium Hipponense, Augustine, Claromontanus, and Innocent present a wider canon, including the deuterocanonical books. The NT lists manifest dispute over the inclusion of Hebrews but generally include the Catholic Epistles and Revelation.
