	Pseudepigrapha. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Apocalypses are well represented in the Pseudepigrapha; those of the early Judaic period may date from the 3d cent.
		The Pseudepigrapha have been transmitted in Western, Eastern, Ethiopian, and Egyptian Coptic churches and are often extant only in the languages of those churches, i.e., Latin, Greek, Syriac, Georgian, Armenian, Coptic, and Ethiopic, though originally composed in Hebrew or Aramaic.
		A large proportion of the Pseudepigrapha can be explained by reference to early Judaism’s persistent readiness to interpret and expand biblical traditions, reapplying them to new situations and problems.

	The Apocypha and Pseudepigrapha
		The Pseudepigrapha resemble the Apocrypha in general character, yet were not included in the Bible, Apocrypha, or rabbinic literature.
		The contribution of the study of the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha to the understanding of the New Testament should not be underrated.
		The general answer is that the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha should be studied because they embody an expression of the human spirit, and the historian is enjoined to study the human past.

		The OT Pseudepigrapha belong to the same type of literature as what are traditionally referred to as the OT Apocryphal books (or Deuterocanonical books).
		Although not necessarily treated as Scripture by them, this material was known to a number of the NT writers (for example, 1Enoch 1:8-9 was known and quoted by the writer of Jude 14), and its theology anticipates some of the theological expressions of the NT.
		This collection of the Greek Pseudepigrapha, moreover, shows a type of Greek that is akin to both the LXX and the Greek of the NT.

	The Book of Enoch & the Pseudepigrapha
		The Pseudepigrapha is a collection of various works written approximately between 200 BCE and 100 CE that were left out of the Old Testament.
		Some of these books were included in Greek manuscripts of the bible, and those extra books became known as the Apocrypha and are still included in Catholic bibles.
		This is because the stories often deviate from the mainstream beliefs of the various prominent Jewish sects of the time.

		There are three Pseudepigrapha that are closely connected with the writings of the Dead Sea sect: the Book of Jubilees, the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs.
		It is not accidental that fragments of the two first books and of two sources of the third were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

		The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, edited by R.H. Charles (1913 edition), is a collection of Jewish religious writings, mainly from the centuries leading up to the New Testament events.
		The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha are key documents for genre study; interpreters and commentators of Revelation and Daniel, for example, make much use of the apocalypses in this collection: 1 and 2 Enoch, The Testament of the 12 Patriarchs, 2 and 3 Baruch, 4 Ezra, The Sibylline Oracles, etc.

		James H. Charlesworth, the Dean of scholars concerned with the Pseudepigrapha gave a talk at the BYU Religious Studies Symposium in March 10-11, 1978, which essay was included by Truman G. Madsen, ed., in the book "Reflections on Mormonism: Judeo-Christian Parallels," which ought to be better known.
		His essay is quite large and detailed, so I will include the salient points and show how some scholars, who upon looking at the Book of Mormon carefully, have not necessarily concluded that it is simply a fraud or phony book at all, but reflects some interesting ideas held in the ancient world.
		The Pseudepigrapha cannot be discarded any longer as documents from a fringe group of heterodox Jews; rather these writings must be recognized as containing many important ideas, concepts, expressions, and dreams that were permeating the fabric of Hellenistic Judaism.

		With the appearance of this second volume, the monumental Old Testament Pseudepigrapha is now complete.
		Volume 2 follows the same format as the first: the general introductory and prefactory material is repeated from the first volume; the ancient documents are divided into major categories, each of which receives its own introduction; and the translations of the individual works within each category are preceded by an introduction and brief bibliography.
		There is no doubt that this will be the standard reference work in the field for many years to come and that Charlesworth and his team of contributors deserve the hearty thanks of all for their enormous efforts.

	The Online Critical Pseudepigrapha :: Project Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		For some time it has been evident that scholars of early Judaism and early Christianity need better access to the texts of the Pseudepigrapha in their original (or extant) languages and with a critical apparatus.
		In many cases critical editions are prohibitively expensive or out of print, and scholars without access to a large library have been hard pressed to find them.
		The Online Critical Pseudepigrapha is intended to address this problem by publishing on-line, free-access critical texts of the Pseudepigrapha which are up-to-date and academically rigorous.
