	Apocrypha (Biblical books, sacred texts)

Note: In biblical literature, works outside an accepted canon of scripture. New Testament apocrypha are pseudepigraphal, and most of them fall into the categories of acts, gospels, and epistles. In the Old Testament, includes books included in the Septuagint and Vulgate versions of the Old Testament, which were not originally written in Hebrew and not counted genuine by Jews, and which, at the Reformation, were excluded from the Sacred Canon by the Protestant party, as having no well-grounded claim to inspired authorship.
