Abstract
"Megillat Antiochos" is a small Aramaic scroll, containing the story of the Makkabean revolt. It is written between the second and fifth century CE, translated into Arabic in the tenth century and into Hebrew even later. It has been used during the service on Hanukka, at least in Yemen and Italy, but probably also elsewhere. It has been incorporated into Tenakh and Targum manuscripts, and prayer books for that purpose. This usage shows us that congregations can find flexible ways to add books to the canon, without giving them a real canonical position.
