Overview

The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha is a modern collection of ancient Jewish documents, mostly from the Second Temple period, which were not included in the later Rabbinic and Christian canons.

While some documents were already known and had been previously published, they began to be studied as one literary corpus since the publication of the first collection of texts by Fabricius in the early 18th century.
