Anonymous
A letter from the Corinthians reporting two teachers who deny the resurrection of the flesh, and Paul's reply insisting on it from the seed sown in the ground and the bones of Elisha that raised a dead man on contact.

Latin
Attributed to Paul
Twenty short verses supplying the letter Colossians 4:16 says Paul sent to Laodicea and which nobody had. It is assembled almost entirely out of phrases from Philippians and says nothing that Paul had not already written elsewhere — which may be why it survived so long unchallenged.

Cogitis Me
Paschasius Radbertus, under Jerome's name · c. 785 – c. 865
Written to nuns at Soissons as if by Jerome, and unusually careful: the church may celebrate Mary's passing, but scripture says nothing about a bodily assumption and the apocryphal accounts of it are not to be trusted. What is certain is her glory; the manner of it is not.
