<P> In 1569 the Spanish Reina Bible, following the example of the pre-Clementine Latin Vulgate, contained the deuterocanonical books in its Old Testament . Following the other Protestant translations of its day, Valera's 1602 revision of the Reina Bible moved these books into an inter-testamental section . </P> <P> All King James Bibles published before 1666 included the Apocrypha, though separately to denote them as not equal to Scripture proper, as noted by Jerome in the Vulgate, to which he gave the name, "The Apocrypha ." In 1826, the National Bible Society of Scotland petitioned the British and Foreign Bible Society not to print the Apocrypha, resulting in a decision that no BFBS funds were to pay for printing any Apocryphal books anywhere . Since that time most modern editions of the Bible and reprintings of the King James Bible omit the Apocrypha section . Modern non-Catholic reprintings of the Clementine Vulgate commonly omit the Apocrypha section . Many reprintings of older versions of the Bible now omit the apocrypha and many newer translations and revisions have never included them at all . </P> <P> There are some exceptions to this trend, however . Some editions of the Revised Standard Version and the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible include not only the Apocrypha listed above, but also the third and fourth books of Maccabees, and Psalm 151 . </P> <P> The American Bible Society lifted restrictions on the publication of Bibles with the Apocrypha in 1964 . The British and Foreign Bible Society followed in 1966 . The Stuttgart edition of the Vulgate (the printed edition, not most of the on - line editions), which is published by the UBS, contains the Clementine Apocrypha as well as the Epistle to the Laodiceans and Psalm 151 . </P>
