For a discussion of pseudo-Psellos, see Greenfield, Richard P. H., Traditions of Belief in Late Byzantine Demonology. Amsterdam: Adolf M. Hakkert, 1988. He provides the following sources:

P. Gautier, “Le de Daemonibus du Pseudo-Psellos” [The Daemonology of Pseudo-Psellos], Revue des études byzantines (REB) 38 (1980), pp. 105-194. (Gautier suggests a possible late thirteenth or early fourteenth-century date.)

J. Bidez. Michel Psellus Epitre sur la Chrysopée. Catalogue des manuscrits alchimiques grecs. [Michael Psellus: Epistle on the Gold-making. Catalogue of Greek Alchemical Manuscripts.] vol. VI, pp. 97-131. Brussels: 1928. (Greenfield mistakenly reads vol. IV) (Substantially the same as Gautier's text, but not in the same order.)
