The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden (1926) is a collection of 17th-century and 18th-century English translations of some Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and New Testament Apocryphal, some of which were assembled in the 1820s, and then republished with the current title in 1926.
The second half of the book, The Forgotten Books of Eden, includes a translation originally published in 1882 of the "First and Second Books of Adam and Eve", translated first from ancient Ethiopic to German by Ernest Trumpp and then into English by Solomon Caesar Malan, and a number of items of Old Testament pseudepigrapha, such as reprinted in the second volume of R.H. Charles's Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament (Oxford, 1913).
More modern translations of these works include J. H. Charlesworth, ed. Old Testament Pseudepigrapha; W. Schneemelcher, ed. New Testament Apocrypha; and M. R. James, The Apocryphal New Testament. The list of writings include the following:
The First Book of Adam and Eve
The Second Book of Adam and Eve
The Secrets of Enoch
The Psalms of Solomon
The Odes of Solomon
The Letter of Aristeas
The Third Book of Macabees
The Fourth Book of Maccabees
The Story of Ahikar
Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs
***NOTE*** While I do not ascribe any authority or accuracy to these ancient writings and consider them to be uninspired, I believe it still has merit by giving insight into the non-canonical thinking of that era and offers some historical context.
