Wikipedia description:
The Jewish apocrypha and pseudepigrapha (Hebrew: הַסְּפָרִים הַחִיצוֹנִיִּים, romanized: ha-səfārîm ha-ḥîṣônîyîm, lit. 'the external books') are religious texts written in large part by Jews, especially during the Second Temple period, not accepted as sacred manuscripts when the Hebrew Bible was canonized. Some of these books are considered sacred in certain Christian denominations and are included in their versions of the Old Testament. The Jewish apocrypha is distinctive from the New Testament apocrypha and Christian biblical apocrypha as it is the only one of these collections which works within a Jewish theological framework.
