Solution

The English translation of the Christian Bible in the 17th century is known as the King James Version (KJV). The KJV is based on the Textus Receptus for the New Testament, and the Masoretic Text for the Old Testament. However, the KJV includes the Apocrypha, a collection of books found in the Septuagint but not in the Hebrew Bible.

The Apocrypha includes books such as Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), Baruch, and 1 and 2 Maccabees. It also includes additions to the books of Esther and Daniel.

However, over time, many Protestant Bibles began to exclude the Apocrypha. The British and Foreign Bible Society decided in 1827 to no longer print Bibles with the Apocrypha. The American Bible Society followed suit in 1885. Therefore, in many modern printings of the KJV, these books have been removed.

So, to answer your question, the texts or scriptures that were removed from the specific version of the Christian Bible that was translated into English in the 17th century (the KJV) are the books of the Apocrypha.
