==Origin==
neuter plural of Greek pseudepigraphos ‘with false title’
'''Pseudepigrapha''' (also Anglicized as "pseudepigraph" or "pseudepigraphs") are [[falsely]] attributed works, [[texts]] whose claimed [[author]] is represented by a separate author or a work whose real author attributed it to a figure of the past. The word pseudepigrapha (from the Greek: ψευδής, pseudes, "false" and ἐπιγραφή, epigraphē, "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").
