A pseudographical book is a book written in the name of another person by an anonymous author. The Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as well as Acts, are not considered pseudographical because they were originally written anonymously and were only later attributed to the disciples whose names they now bear. Similarly, Genesis is not pseudographical, even though it is commonly attributed to Moses but was clearly written some centuries later, because it is only tradition that attributes Genesis to Moses - there is not such claim in the book itself. The same applies to other books, such as Daniel, which most Christians believe to have been written by Daniel himself. To be classed as pseudographical, the original author needs to have identified himself as the alleged author, probably in the text itself.
Ecclesiastes could be considered pseudographical, since the author appears to identify as King Solomon, although the book was clearly written during the post-Exilic era.
A large part of Isaiah is pseudographical, since the author, now known as Second Isaiah, added to the original work of first Isaiah without identifying himself.
Some of the epistles attributed to Paul are considered pseudographical: Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, and possibly Philippians and 1 Thessalonians.
Most of the epistles attributed to other disciples are generally considered pseudographical.
Strictly speaking, Revelation is not pseudographical although it is attributed to an author named John. The author is clearly not the author of John's Gospel, but the author of Revelation does not actually claim to be the same John.
