There were dozens of supposedly "inspired" books in circulation declared non-canonical by Pope Boniface. That was the whole point of declaring a canon. In a sense, it was already "in place" (it was "in place" from before the beginning of time), but human beings did the discerning by aid of the Holy Spirit, among many more texts than appear in the Bible as we know it.

That is why we have two different canons for the Bible.
