Zusammenfassung:	"Whether under the names of Pythagoras, Orpheus, Pythia, Paul of Tarsus or Enoch, the Ancients wrote under famous names to express themselves. A fundamental phenomenon of Antiquity, pseudepigraphy only became the subject of a monograph in the 1970s, with Wolfgang Speyer’s Die literarische Fälschung im heidnischen und christlichen Altertum (1971) and the Hardt Foundation’s "Entretiens", Pseudepigrapha I. Pseudopythagorica – Lettres de Platon – Littérature pseudépigraphique juive (1972). The publications attracted criticism from several scholars. More recently, Bart Ehrman’s book on the same topic, Forgery and Counterforgery (2013), has helped to revive the debate, generating both critical and very positive reactions. The aim of this volume is to revisit these important syntheses, looking at them from the perspective of specific figures, as well as different time periods, languages and regions. It also aims to broaden research by testing the various theories set out by the scholarly literature. It has now become essential to extend and reshape this notion of pseudepigraphy, which also relates the themes of authorship, poetic inspiration, the intention of ancient authors, and literary genres."
