Best Answer

Here are the Books known as 'Apocrypha' in Protestant circles:

Those accepted by the Church of Rome, the Greek and Slavonic Orthodox:

Tobit

Judith

Wisdom of Solomon

Ecclesiasticus (or the Wisdom of Jesus the son of Sirach)

Baruch

Letter of Jeremiah (in Catholic tradition, Baruch 6)

1 Maccabees

2 Maccabees

Additions to Daniel (Prayer of Azariah & the Song of the Three Young Men, the History of Susanna, and the History of the Destruction of Bel & the Dragon)

Additions to the Book of Esther

Those accepted by the all Orthodox Churches:

1 Esdras (Ezra)*

Prayer of Manasseh*†

3 Maccabees

An additional Psalm (151)

The Slavonic Orthodox Church adds:

2 Esdras, 4-6 Ezra, or the Ezra Apocalypse (only found in Latin)*

The Greek Orthodox add in an appendix:

4 Maccabees (sometimes called On the Supremacy of Reason)

In the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, also where the other apocryphal/deuterocanonical books are found) there is another book not currently accepted among any church today:

The Psalms of Solomon

Aside from this list, there are many books known by Protestants as 'pseudepigrapha' (Catholics and Orthodox call the books listed before 'Deuterocanonical' and the following books 'apocryphal') Here are just a few:

Life of Adam and Eve

The Odes of Solomon

Joseph and Asenath

The Book of Enoch

The Book of Jubilees

5 Maccabees

The Martyrdom of Isaiah

Psalms 152-155

And literally thousands of others (not to mention all of the New Testament Apocrypha)

*These books are found in the Latin Vulgate but are not canonical in the Roman Catholic Church, but are also collected with the other Catholic deuterocanonicals in what is called "The Protestant Apocrypha"

† The Prayer of Manasseh was found in the Septuagint Book of Odes, a collection of Biblical psalms, hymns, and prayers which came after the Psalms
