Works misattributed to Augustine of Hippo

Several works have been misattributed to Augustine of Hippo. Augustine himself in his Retractiones lists many of his genuine works, while his disciple Possidius tried to provide a complete list in his Indiculus. Despite this check, false attributions to Augustine abound. Scholars have given the name Pseudo-Augustine to the authors, collectively, of such misattributed works.
