Abstract

The St Catherine’s Monastery Syriac List provides us with a fourth-century list of OT and NT books, probably from Edessa in Syria. The list is anonymous. The OT part of the list contains the protocanonical books first, while listing the deuterocanonical books second; that is, these books are kept distinct within the list. The NT part of the list contains the four Gospels, Acts, and the fourteen epistles of Paul. The disputed Catholic Epistles and the book of Revelation are omitted from the NT part of the list. It is the earliest representative of a Syriac catalogue of canonical books.
