<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The context of my raising this question was Israeli practice. As you know, Israeli practice regarding 'Bible" is already different from that of the Anglo-American library world in that we use 'Bible' for 'Tanakh'
(what you call 'Old Testament') and treat the New Testament as an independent work of Christian holy scripture ($aNew Testament, $aNew Testament.$pMark, etc.)</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Dividing apocryphal works into canonical and non-canonical ones makes no sense in Jewish tradition where there is no canon at all (previous Israeli practice has been to treat the works in the Hebrew Kahana compilation
as 'canonical', but this hardly qualifies as canonization, and the Kahana edition includes works such as Aristeas Letter which was never considered part of any Apocryphal canon).</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I do not expect American practice to change, but in redefining Israeli practice I think it makes sense to establish each work independently. Since we are already entering Bible and New Testament differently from
AACR/RDA rules there is already no international uniformity.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am working on a list of major Judaica preferred title headings (what we used to call 'Anonymous classics') to replace an old list we once had. This list will included preferred terms (Hebrew and English) for
Bible, Apocrypha, Talmudic literature, Midrashim, Dead Sea Scrolls, early Kabbalistic works, Liturgy, etc. I hope to have this list completed in a few weeks and after it is checked and approved by the national cataloging committee we will make it public. There
are some major changes in the list which will bring many of the headings closer to American practice: Encyclopedia Judaica forms rather than systematic romanization, un-canonizing the Dead Sea Scrolls, and adopting some changes which go back to AACR but were
never fully adopted in Israel. I will keep you informed and would be glad for any input.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thank you, Elhanan, for raising the issue of Jewish view of the Apocrypha (Heb-NACO, 11/25/2013).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We discussed your proposal at a</span><span style="color:#1F497D">
</span><span style="color:black">recent Israel and Judaica Section meeting. Although works such as Ben Sira and Wisdom of Solomon are not accepted into a Jewish canon, they are canonical in other religions. And since these works are accepted into the canons
of other religions, there cannot be multiple headings for the same text. In other words, there cannot be headings for the same work given one way in one religious context and in another way in another religious context. For works such as Ben Sira, we would
not recommend entering </span><span style="color:#1F497D">directly </span><span style="color:black">under the individual title.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">That said, Paul Crego of the Israel and Judaica Section has offered to investigate the possibility of streamlining the headings for some of these headings within a Christian context that would allow the religious
tradition to be included at the end of a string. Attached to this is e-mail is a very</span><span style="color:#1F497D">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I would like your input on the following idea - but first you need to forget your Christian-oriented cataloging rules which consider the Apocrypha (or at least various parts of it) to be canonized sacred scripture.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We are in the process of rewriting Israeli cataloging rules to adapt them to RDA. At the same time, we are also looking at adopting some rules which were already there in AACR, but never adopted in Israel (particularly
regarding Jewish liturgy - but that is another story)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span dir="RTL"></span><span lang="HE" dir="RTL" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"><span dir="RTL"></span> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">From a purely Jewish point of view, there never was an official group of apocryphal books. When the Tanakh was officially 'closed' in Tannaitic times (and after some argument regarding Ecclesiastes and the Song
of Songs) various other books of the period were declared to be 'external books' (sefarim hitsoni'im) and some very strong statements were made against reading them. Most of these survived primarily because they were in the Greek Septuagint and became accepted
as part of Christian Old Testament canon (although not all churches accepted the same books).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span dir="RTL"></span><span lang="HE" dir="RTL" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"><span dir="RTL"></span> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">There are several collections of Jewish apocrypha in Hebrew but these are relatively recent attempts to translate back to Hebrew and group these works together, certainly not to 'canonize' the group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span dir="RTL"></span><span lang="HE" dir="RTL" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"><span dir="RTL"></span> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Therefore, from a purely Jewish standpoint it seems to me that Apocrypha is similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls which consist of some titled works, some untitled fragments, and some collections from various works.
What brings them together as 'Dead Sea Scrolls' is the fact that they were all found (presumably) in and around the Judean desert.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">For Apocryphal works also it seems to me that individual titled works should be established under their own titles, and the heading Apocrypha should be used only for collections/selections from this literature.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">An apocryphal book is one that is not included in the Catholic canon nor in the Protestant Apocrypha. Choose as the preferred title for an apocryphal book the title commonly found in sources in a language preferred
by the agency creating the data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Note that works which are not part of a 'canon' are to be entered under individual title. Since there is no Jewish Apocryphal canon, wouldn't it be correct from a purely Jewish outlook to enter each work (Ben Sira,
Wisdom of Solomon, etc.) under its own title?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
