Pseudepigrapha (Greek, "things falsely ascribed"), meaning "books with false titles," refers to books similar in type to those of the Bible whose authors gave them the names of persons of a much earlier period in order to enhance their authority. The Pseudepigrapha is a collection of early Jewish and some Jewish-Christian writings composed between c.200 B.C. and c.A.D. 200, not found in the Bible or rabbinic writings.
Some of these works are regarded as canonical scripture by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
