 There is of course the old study by Paul 
Hacker (I believe it is included in his study <span style="font-style: 
italic;">Vivarta</span>) that says that Ādi Śaṅkarācārya did not write 
really much (he simply died too young for that), and that everything 
besides the Bhagavadgītābhāṣya, Upaniṣadbhāṣya-s, Brahmasūtrabhāṣya and 
Upadeśasahasrī (unfortunately I cannot check right now) is apocryphic. 
(This does not mean that other texts are uninteresting or unimportant.)<br>

 Tattva-bodha is traditionally thought to have been written by 
Shankaracharya. The story is that he wrote it for his mother shortly 
before she died. So he put the Advaita Vedanta teachings in the simplest
 possible form. Even today it is regarded as a sort of Advaita Vedanta
