All the gospels, incuding the New Testament gospels, are pseudepigraphical, so we do not really know who wrote the Gospel of Philip. However, this gospel is believed to have been written by the disciples of Valentinus in the second century.
It contains some teachings on baptism and resurrection that contradicted the teachings of the branch of Christianity that compiled what we now call the New Testament and so could not be included in its canon. Of course, the Gospel of Philip was canonical to Gnostic Christians, but that branch of Christianity was extinguished long ago.
A:The 'lost gospels' are those non-canonical gospels such as the Gospel According to the Hebrews, the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Thomas, Infancy Gospel of Thomas and many others. It should be born in mind that these attributions are no more reliable than are the attributions of the canonical gospels to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. For scholars, the most important of the non-canonical gospels are the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Peter. A search of the internet will access English translation of some of these texts, and the are also available (with difficulty) in printed form.
There are no women who wrote the canonical Gospels in the Bible. The four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are traditionally attributed to male authors. However, there are non-canonical Gospels such as the Gospel of Mary Magdalene or the Gospel of Philip that feature women more prominently.
Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the only canonical gospels.
Philip is listed as one of the twelve disciples but as far as we know , none of the disciples wrote anything. The four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and were not written by any of the disciples, in spite of second-century attributions. There is a non-canonical Gospel of Philip but it was, like the canonical gospels, originally anonymous; in any case it is generally believed to have been written after 150 CE. This means that not only did Philip not write a book of the Bible, he also probably did not even write a book outside the Bible.

The Gospel of Nicodemus is not part of the Bible, as it is considered an apocryphal or non-canonical text. It is also known as the Acts of Pilate and contains accounts of events surrounding the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of Barnabas now known to us is an apocryphal gospel from the sixteenth century, although an earlier, now lost, Gospel of Barnabas is mentioned in early writing . Nothing is known of the older Gospel. The sixteenth-century Gospel seeks to harmonise the canonical gospels with Muslim teachings - it presents Jesus as a human prophet, a forerunner of Muhammad, and not as the son of God.
