In the first century there was a Pharisee canon, a Sadducee canon, an Essene canon and the Septuagint canon

No, they did not all have canons. And none proclaimed the Apocrypha to be an inspired part of a canon.

Christian historians make up a lot of strange stuff about “the Jewish canon”. I’m reminded of the fact that until a few years ago the English Soncino Chumash/Tanakh could be found in almost all American synagogues. No doubt in the future some Christian historian will claim it was ‘canon’ to American Jews.
