Pseudepigrapha (also Anglicized as "pseudepigraph" or "pseudepigraphs") are falsely works, texts whose claimed author is not the true author, or a work whose real author attributed it to a figure of the past. The word pseudepigrapha (from the , pseudes, "false" and , epigraphe, "name" or "inscription" or "ascription"; thus when taken together it means "false superscription or title"; see the related epigraphy) is the plural of "pseudepigraphon" (sometimes Latinized as "pseudepigraphum").
