The author of that spendid article forgot that Greek-speaking Jews (who used the Septuagint OT two hundred years before Christ) were also Jews and had the right to limit their own canon.
"The author of that spendid article forgot that Greek-speaking Jews"
No, he didn't forget. See, the Jews had their own magesteriam, called the Sanhedren, and they decide what is in their canon, not scriveners in Egypt. As Josephesus reported, the Apocrypha didn't make it and no self respecting religious Jew would add it to the canon. Kind of like when the Council of Trent decided after 1400 years to override the doubts of all that went before and add it.
