The term '''Canon''', from the Greek word ''[http://www.laparola.net/greco/parola.php?p=%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%BD%E1%BD%BD%CE%BD κανών]'' (''Kanon''), meaning "reed" or "measuring rod", has multiple definitions in the literary world, the most common of which are specified as Literary Canon, Canon Fiction, and Biblical Canon (Landow). A work that belongs to a canon, is guaranteed to display quality, status, and aesthetic appeal (Landow). Once the work is entered into a canon, it becomes "canonized" (WiseGEEK).
