The name Apocrypha is applied to a collection of books not included in the canon of the Bible although they are incorporated in the canon of the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches.Robert Henry Charles (1855&ndash,1931) was an Irish biblical scholar and theologian. He left parochial work in 1889 to devote himself to biblical research and became the greatest authority of his time in matters of Jewish eschatology and apocrypha. He devoted his life to biblical research, and he became one of the primary authorities on matters of Jewish culture and theology, eschatology in particular. áIn 1913, Charles published an English translation of the Apocryphal (or Deuterocanonical) books of the Bible, including those not typically printed in Bibles that include the Apocrypha. áThis was followed by volume two of the same series, which covered the Pseudepigrapha.á His translations of the Book of Enoch and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs especially are still widely used.á
