Pseudepigrapha. Writings ascribed to some other than their real author, generally with a view to giving them an enhanced authority. The term is used especially of the pseudonymous Jewish works dating from the centuries immediately before and after the beginning of the Christian era, which are not included in the OT or
Apocrypha. Among them are the ‘Books of
Enoch’, the ‘Assumption of
Moses’, and the ‘Psalms of
Solomon’.
