E. CORTESE



SBF. Analecta 47 - Jerusalem 1999
Pages: 178

After years of research, Enzo Cortese maintains the thesis that the Deuteronomistic Work (Deuteronomy ­ 2Kings) is an homogeneous pre-exilic composition (under Josiah, 639-609 B.C.) with exilic additions. He also offers a synthetic vision of the relationship between these books and the "Tetrateuch."
