The Catholic Bible has 73 books, the Protestant Bible has 66.
The Catholic version of the Bible became church dogma at the Council of Trent in 1546.
Martin Luther removed the 7 books of the Bible: Martin Luther rejected the deuterocanonical books because they were written after God stopped speaking to the Prophets. He called them "Apocrypha, that are books which are not considered equal to the Holy Scriptures, but are useful and good to read." Luther believed these books were valuable but not essential to the Christian faith.
Fun fact: Also originally removed by Martin Luther was Revelation. It was put back.
Removed by the Catholic canon: an epistle to the Laodecians. While scholars believe that Paul did in fact write an epistle to the Laodecians, almost all agree that this epistle in the Vulgate is a forgery.
There will be a lot of Hebrew, Greek and finally Latin in the study of this.
Eusebius also supports the decisions made at Trent in writings from a much earlier time period. They were already debating about which books were acceptable to read during mass in much earlier time.
