Muratorian canon

A Dictionary of the Bible | 1997 | | Copyright

Muratorian canon A list in Latin of NT books dating from the second part of the 2nd cent. in an 8th-cent. MS discovered by Lodovico Antonio Muratori in 1740. It is usually held to be the earliest known list of writings accepted by the Church as normative. The total of twenty-two books omits Hebrews, 1 and 2 Peter, James, and 3 John, but includes the Wisdom of Solomon and the Apocalypse of Peter (a 2nd-cent. work with a description of heaven and hell, not eventually accepted by the Church).
