Books whose writers chose to stay unnamed.
Many books of the 1600s and 1700s were printed without their writer's name. Sometimes the author wanted to avoid trouble; sometimes they simply wanted the argument to stand on its own.
The Anatomy of Simon Magus is one of these: an attack on the buying and selling of church positions, printed in London in 1700. Who wrote it is not known.
