Dispute in the OT?

[Inquirer]

Hippo and Carthage state that 1 Esdras and 2 Esdras are canonical. They are referring here to the Septuagint version of 1 and 2 Esdras. In this version 1 Esdras is the Apocryphal additions to Ezra while 2 Esdras is the Jewish verion of Ezra-Nehemiah from the Jewish canon.

Is this correct?

The Council of Trent however states that 1 Esdras is actually Ezra from the Jewish canon and 2 Esdras is Nehemiah from the Jewish canon. Trent omits the Septuagint version of 1 Esdras.

Is this correct?

Secondly, Hippo and Carthage state that Solomon wrote 5 books of the Old Testament when in actuality he wrote only 3.

Is this correct?

I don’t know the answers to your questions.
However that would be an excellent submitting post for the Ask and Apologist forum.
So that’s my suggestion

God Bless!

Originally, Nehemiah was 2 Esdras (or 2 Ezra in Hebrew). The Apocryphal books of 3rd & 4th Esdras were originally 2nd & 3rd. Ezra. The changed the numbering when Nehemiah was given it’s current name.

Secondly, Hippo and Carthage state that Solomon wrote 5 books of the Old Testament when in actuality he wrote only 3.

Is this correct?

The book of Wisdom was said to be credited to the words of wisdom of Solomon. I don’t know what the 5th book would be.
