As is well known, the British philosopher and scholar Hobbes was the first
to correct Jew scholarship on a few points. Hobbes pointed out that Moses
could not have been the author of the "Torah" (as the Jews had indeed
thought he was) because, as Hobbes notes, "the Torah describes Moses's own
death" -- which would be otiose if written by a 'dead' author. Or not?
