Along with the list, I'm also looking for a few more pieces of information. When was the committee formed to decide which books were going to be considered as 'canon', and how long did the process take? Who were the people that made the decisions, and how many were there? Along with the books that didn't make the cut, did the committee give information as to why the books weren't included or did they just say yes or no (I mean, now we can give educated guesses as to why they weren't included, but I was wondering if there was any information given at the time)? Also, is there a decent book/translation that someone could recommend that is a collection of these other books? I know it's a lengthy question, and I thank you all in advance for your answers.
