The term apocrypha has to be used with caution. It has two different
meanings, the books found in the Roman Catholic canon (with others sharing
it) but not in the Protestant canon (like Wisdom) & those books accepted
by neither tradition but circulated as if biblical. At least one, the
supposed epistle of Paul to the Laodicaeans, can show up in Bibles. I
saw one copy in a Bible in Biblioteca Ambrosiana. A useful tool, if
somewhat dated, for identifying such texts is Stegmuller, repertorium
Biblicum.
