The thing I was reading about it suggested it was written at least fifty
years (but more like 200) after Christ.  Doubt I could find it again.  It
_Is_ a forgery.  BTW it contains the Julian calendar (Listed oddly
enough, backwards).

I am unsure about the jude reference.  There may have been a different
source, than that which is suggested.  The OT contain references to
several books that seem to have been lost.
