Who canonized Tanakh?

 
Jewish Primer: Who canonized Tanakh?

Again by Jewish tradition, Tanakh was finally canonized by Anshei Knesset Hagedolah - "The Men of the Great Assembly" - these being the great Torah sages who lived in about 300 B.C.E. Certainly by the beginning of the Common Era the book as we know it today had been canonized.
