Novels about Literary Forgeries
#1
I've been trying to remember novels I've read that deal substantively with the issue of literary forgery.  The only one that comes immediately to mind is Irving Wallace's 1972 novel, The Word, which revolves around the discovery of a new gospel written by the younger brother of Jesus.

Can anyone think of others?
