Gospel of Josephus
Modern forgery created by Luigi Moccia in 1927 to raise publicity for his novel; written in Greek From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gospel of Josephus was a modern pseudepigraph created by Luigi Moccia to raise publicity for a novel Moccia had written.[1][2] The manuscript was written by Moccia in Greek, but was proven to be a hoax based on the modernity of the language and the form of the manuscript (loose sheets written on one side only).[1][3] The Gospel was attributed to Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian of the first century CE. The gospel was created in 1927.
