The canonical scriptures are listed in the Canon XXIV as follows: The "five books of Solomon", according to Augustine, were
Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes,
Song of Songs,
Wisdom, and
Sirach (or Ecclesiasticus). In the
De doctrina christiana, Augustine explains the relation between the two books of Ezra/
Esdras and its separation with the Chronicles (partly included in the
Septuagint's
1 Esdras): "... and the two of
Ezra, which last look more like a sequel to the continuous regular history which terminates with the books of
Kings and
Chronicles." == Notes ==
