Writings of dubious authenticity (9)

I believe the answer is:

apocrypha

(Other definitions for apocrypha that I've seen before include "religious text" , "dubious writings" , "Doubtfully-authentic writings" , "O.T. Books not accepted by Jews, and excluded from Protestant Bible at the Reformation" , "Uncanonical writings" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
