The Septuagint was a Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament scriptures, with each book written on a separate scroll. There was no single, bound 'Bible' that could definitively identify which books were included and which were not. The apocrypha were translated into Greek and are considered to have been part of the Septuagint.
The septuagint influenced the great fourth-century scholar Jerome in preparing his Vulgate translation, which became the standard Latin version of the Bible for many centuries. Thus, both Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles include the Apocrypha in their canon. While other Christians do not consider the books of the Apocrypha canonical, most modern translations include them since they are studied for their contribution to understanding the history of period in which they developed.
