Works published under a pseudonym

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

• Ali and Nino published in the German language in 1937 by E.P. Tal in Vienna under the pseudonym Kurban Said, now known to be written by core author Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminli. Chamanzaminli, who had opposed the Bolshevik takeover of Baku in 1920, couldn't dare have risked having his name associated with a novel opposing the Bolsheviks especially since he wanted desperately to return home to Azerbaijan from Europe in 1926. The fingerprints related to folkloric and legendary descriptions (often erroneous) can be traced to Essad Bey, and material about travels to Tiflis and Persia were plagiarized from Grigol Robakidze. Elfriede Ehrenfels registered the pseudonym Kurban Said under her name but there is no proof that she wrote the book herself.
