False document
A '''false document''' is a technique, employed to create [[verisimilitude]] in a work of fiction, where an author tries to create a sense of authenticity beyond the normal and expected suspension of disbelief for a [[work of art]] by inventing and inserting or mentioning documents that appear to be factual.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Baker |first1=Timothy C. |title=Authentic Inauthenticity: The Found Manuscript |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304986715_Authentic(contracted; show full)ref> The [[Catholic Church]] distinguishes only between the deuterocanonical and all the other books, that are called [[biblical apocrypha]], a name that is also used for the pseudepigrapha in the Catholic usage.{{Citation needed|date=July 2018}} In addition, two books considered canonical in the [[Orthodox Tewahedo]] churches, ''viz.'' [[Book of Enoch]] and [[Book of Jubilees]], are categorized as pseudepigrapha from the point of view of [[Chalcedonian Christianity]].
