koj also gives sense:
諸所に散逸した書物。
(volume lost and scattered in various places)
…though I’ve never heard this sense
  Comments:
* Elab/correct definition – more generally “letter left by dead person”, esp. “suicide note” (will and testament is more often 遺言, and that’s often gives as synonym)
* Add alt sense “posthumous work”
