reattributed

Authorship changed officially

Reattributed means assigned to a different source or creator than previously believed.

The term appears most often in art history and scholarship, where works are reattributed when new evidence suggests a different artist: The painting was reattributed to a student of Rembrandt rather than the master himself.

Documents, quotations, and ideas can also be reattributed when original attributions prove mistaken.
