Notes to the Introduction

I advocate that the word 'pseudonymous' be changed to 'pseudepigraphic.' The reason for this is that the work itself is not 'false' in 'name,' but that it is believed to have been written in the name of an older rabbi (Nehunia ben haKana) and his school. The author nowhere claims to be ben haKana nor provides a pseudonym for himself. I have done much research into pseudepigrapha at Emory University and belive this to be the more correct wording of the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ruyn13 (talk • contribs) 20:33, 28 December 2005(UTC).

Makes sense to me. From Pseudepigraphy: Pseudepigraphy covers the false ascription of names of authors to works, even to perfectly authentic works that make no such claim within their text. Thus a widely accepted but incorrect attribution of authorship may make a perfectly authentic text pseudepigraphical. --◀Pucktalk▶ 08:28, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
