Jesus Himself invented sola scriptura when He proclaimed, “It is written”. It was His appeal to written scripture which flummoxed the authorities of the day, just as it does now. Our early Christian ancestors took this so seriously that forged books such as "the Protoevangelium of James" were quickly exposed as fakes. Christians did this even if what those Books had written in them was really popular at the time. The supremacy of Scripture was paramount.

Not entered into canon DOES NOT mean it was fake.
