List of Old Testament pseudepigrapha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Jewish pseudepigrapha)

Pseudepigrapha are falsely attributed works, texts whose claimed author is not the true author, or a work whose real author attributed it to a figure of the past.[1] Some of these works may have originated among Jewish Hellenizers, others may have Christian authorship in character and origin.[2]
