Editing Deuterocanonical books (section)

===Synods===
In later copyings of the canons of the [[Council of Laodicea]] (from 364 AD) a canon list became appended to Canon 59, likely before the mid fifth century, which affirmed that Jeremiah, and Baruch, the Lamentations, and the Epistle (of Jeremiah) were canonical, while excluding the other deuterocanonical books.<ref name="Synod of Laodicea Canon 60" /><ref>{{cite book|last1=Gallagher|first1=Edmon L.|author-link1=Edmon L.

According to [[Decretum Gelasianum]], which is a work written by an anonymous scholar between 519 and 553, the [[Council of Rome]] (382 AD) cites a list of books of scripture presented as having been made canonical. This list mentions all the deuterocanonical books as a part of the Old Testament canon:
