The Muratorian 'canon', which I believe you are referencing, could NOT have been used by the Protestants to compile their bible.

Muratori wasn't born until 1672!!!

Also, the Muratorian 'canon' consists of ONLY new testament books.

Which doesn't explain why Protestant bibles don't have Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and First and Second Maccabees and parts of books Esther 10:4-16:24, and Daniel 3:24-90; 13:1-14:42! These are all old testament books, which are NOT mentioned by Muratori in his "canon".
