Glatzer, The Passover Haggadah (New York: Schocken Books, 1981), pp. 24, 64.

Apocryphal literature, from the Greek term meaning “to be hidden,” refers to a vast quantity of noncanonical gospels, apocalypses, letters and other writings featuring biblical characters and events. (The term Apocrypha can also be used to refer to a collection of books that is considered canonical by Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox but not by Protestants and Jews.)
