In the Bible Browser, Search et. al. why isn't the appendix of the Clementine Vulgate treated as Apocrypha? Although the terminology differs, the function of the apocrypha section of "Protestant" bibles is identical to that of the appendix section in the Vulgate et. al. Having books magically appear in "common divisions" that did not appear in OT/Apocrypha (appendix)/NT is very odd behavior.
I would expect to see these patterns for my major Bibles:
- Complete [JPS]
- Old Testament, New Testament (NIV)
- Old Testament, Apocrypha, New Testament (NRSV)
- Old Testament, New Testament, Appendix (Swete, Clementine Vulgate)
