This discussion about biblical or apocryphal works seems unbelievable to me. The AACR cataloging tradition concerning these works is an anachronism. It was invited many, many years ago for card catalogs. All parts of the Bible should be found at one place in the card catalog. (I know this

Concerning the changes to the Apocrypha, I wish the powers of modern computing could be employed to solve these matters. At its basis, I don't think that this issue is any different from any other authorized point: there is the conceptual consideration that everyone can more or less agree on:
