Canon of Trent

Canon of Trent

Though many canons were formulated as a result of the Council of Trent, the phrase Canon of Trent usually refers to the list of biblical books that were from then on to be considered canonical. This was a decree from the Council's fourth session, of 4 April 1546.

The list confirmed that the deuterocanonical books were on a par with the other books of the canon (against Luther's placement of these books in the Apocrypha of his edition) and coordinated church tradition with the Scriptures as a rule of faith. It also affirmed the Vulgate translation to be authoritative for the text of Scripture, contrary to Protestant views that the Greek text was in fact authoritative.
