	Pseudepigraphy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For instance, few Hebrew scholars would insist that the Song of Solomon was written by the king of Israel, or ascribe the Book of Enoch to the prophet Enoch, and few Christian scholars would insist today that the Second Epistle of John was written by St.
		This is the essential motivation for pseudepigraphy in the first place.

	Introduction to 2 Peter and Jude
		Pseudepigraphy ("false writing") is a letter that claims to be by a person who is not its true author, usually claiming to be by a famous or prominent person.
		Pseudepigraphy was an accepted literary device in the ancient world, not intended to deceive, in which a writer adopted the pseudonym of an ancient or symbolic figure from a previous epoch.
		Pseudepigraphy is acceptable since the Spirit was the true author, thus the identity of the actual author doesn't matter.

	Pseudonymity
		The term 'pseudepigraphy' (lower case p) is somewhat related: its narrow meaning refers to pseudonymous writings (i.e., writings which state the author to be someone else than the actual author).
		The uncomfortable fact is, however, that a large consensus of NT scholarship maintains that certain NT writings, particularly Ephesians, the Pastorals and 2 Peter, are pseudepigraphic, the first two attributed to Paul, the last attributed to Peter.
		…If pseudepigraphy were ever de rigeur at Qumran as a literary device, it may have been used only in texts which were attempting to proclaim a legal or theological doctrine to the outside world and considered unnecessary in works intended for insiders.

	Bernstein: Categories and Functions
		The salient feature of pseudepigraphy, the false attribution of authorship, appears no longer to be relevant in the categorization of works as "pseudo-X." I am convinced that the practice of using this terminology in naming Qumran texts has obscured their true nature in many instances.
		The question of pseudepigraphy in the Bible itself is beyond the scope of this discussion but a salient difference between biblical and Second Temple literature must be noted.
		Pseudepigraphy of this type may not seem as dissonant to the modern reader as the prophetic/apocalyptic's post eventum pronouncement of truths to buttress arguments about the future or the assertion that the correct legal interpretations of the Mosaic Pentateuch were written by Moses in Jubilees.

		He acknowledges the important principle that the onus of proof must rest on the challengers of authenticity and not on the defenders, which illustrates his cautious approach to the whole subject of canonical pseudepigrapha.
		In view of this lack of agreement on the essential meaning of the word there is a case for avoiding it because of its possible overtones, although the mere [[page 31]] refusal to use the word does not automatically remove the idea of culpable deceit as a possible factor in the problem.
		But it was not until the end of the nineteenth century that a serious attempt was made to present a reasoned investigation of the claims made in respect of pseudepigraphy in the course of critical enquiries.

	PSEUDONYMITY AS RHETORIC:
		A literary forgery is, as Speyer shows, a subset of the larger category of pseudepigraphy.
		Since Speyer's wide-ranging survey concerns itself more with patristic pseudepigraphy than with pseudepigraphy in the New Testament, his work remains very useful for demonstrating to students of the New Testament the broad and deep cultural context of pseudepigraphy in the Hellenistic world.
		Even though Speyer is aware of the problematic nature of the categories of orthodoxy and heresy, his essential dependence on these categories, as well as the general nature of his survey, seem to prevent him from truly penetrating Christian literature of the first century CE.

	PSEUDONYMITY AS RHETORIC:
		His categories for understanding pseudonymity, "authentic religious pseudepigraphy," "forged religious pseudepigraphy," and "fictional religious pseudepigraphy," are problematic but interesting, as are his related proposals concerning the reasons that early Christian writers used pseudonymity.
		Pseudepigraphy then becomes a harmless device used rather conventionally by authors.
		Even if it is true that, as Donelson later argued, no literature which was known to be forged was taken to be authoritative in the Graeco-Roman world, one must also realize that the majority of Graeco-Roman pseudepigraphy remained undetected until modern times, even though resources for detection existed in antiquity.

	How Might One Identify Pseudepigraphy in the Pauline Epistles
		The second major criterion commonly used to determine authenticity of authorship is comparison of theology in the letter under consideration with the theology found in the undisputed Paulines.
		Note that he does not look for criteria of authenticity, but of pseudepigraphy; i.e., he seeks to determine what must be present for a letter to be considered pseudonymous.
		What Bauckham concludes about the examples of pseudepigraphy he has studied is that pseudepigraphal letters had to find a way of addressing themselves both to the false recipients and to the real recipients.

		Aland argues that the reason there was a decline of anonymous Christian writing in the second century (and, consequently, an increase in the amount of literature that was preserved under the name of its correct author) was a decline in the "movement of the Spirit" from the first century to the second.
		Early Christian literature which justifies the church's present doctrines and practices by appeals to figures from the past thus looks back to the apostolic era as a kind of golden age.
		For example, early Christian martyrdom stories which portray the writer as an eyewitness of the martyrdom may be true or may be a literary device used to add plausibility to the writing; see Speyer, Fälschung, 27.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: Jewish Pseudepigraphy
		In a literary culture that asserts that everything of worth was already revealed by God to Moses (Talmud Yerushalmi Peah 2:4), little room is made for originality.
		Much of Jewish pseudepigraphy either draws on Jewish mysticism or comes from circles that had an emphasis on mystical speculation and experience.
		This is not really surprising; the kinds of "original works" that would need the added "authority" of an early author were frequently speculative and included claims of divine revelation or extraordinary authority.

	Bregman: Pseudepigraphy in Rabbinic Literature
		Thus, in the Mishnah, anonymity confers authority, contrary to what we find in pseudepigraphy where false attribution to some specific, well-known and highly respected personality is generally used to increase the authority of a literary work, statement or idea.
		Any discussion of pseudepigraphy must address the question of dolus, whether the incorrect or false attribution has been undertaken in a deceitful way, with the intention to mislead.
		At the Orion Symposium it was suggested that this phenomenon might be termed "pseudo-God" (M. Bernstein, "The Degrees and Functions of Pseudepigraphy at Qumran") or "divine pseudepigraphy" (L. Schiffman, "The Temple Scroll and the Halakhic Pseudepigrapha of the Second Temple Period").

		This book criticizes the terms “Pseudepigraphy” and “Rewritten Bible”, which presuppose conceptions of authentic attribution and textual fidelity foreign to ancient Judaism.
		She undertakes no less than to consider the questions of "Rewritten Bible" as a genre of interpretation, pseudepigraphy, pseudonymity, and anonymity in key Dead Sea Scrolls and the writings of Philo under the sign of a foucauldian investigation of notions of "authorship" in the period.
		Her astutely chosen case study deals primarily with the very well attested representation of Moses as the "author" of the Torah.

		It is almost unanimously believed to be pseudepigraphy, being a pastiche of phrases taken from the genuine Pauline epistles.
		Adolf von Harnack suggested that it was written by either Marcion or one of his followers, but despite scholarly examination his suggestion cannot be substantiated or denied.

		Some scholars believe that pseudepigraphy (attributing one's work to another person) was accepted in the ancient world and that it would not have been considered deception.
		That is, the person who wrote a pseudepigraphical work normally was trying to deceive others to get an authority for his or her work that it would not otherwise have had.
