The Books of Jeremiah and Lamentations are both traditionally ascribed to Jeremiah, but the actual authorship of Lamentations can not be established. Similar style and language are common to several of the prophet's contemporaries, and the viewpoint expressed in Lamentations is most unlike his pronouncements in Jeremiah.

Scholars say the Book of Isaiah had three authors, now known as First Isaiah, Second Isaiah and Third Isaiah. It is not entirely clear whether Second Isaiah and Third Isaiah simply added to the book written by Isiah, son of Amoz, or wrote separate books that were later appended to it. The consensus is that they wrote separate books.

Who were the postexilic prophets?
A:Most of the post-exilic prophets were anonymous and wrote in the name of earlier prophets such as Isaiah, so their names are unknown to us. The post-exilic Book of Malachi was written anonymously, and the word 'Malachi' merely rfers to a verse that mentions a 'messenger'. The Books of Haggai and Zechariah are named after two known post-exilic prophets.
Why are major prophets called major?
Major prophets are called "major" due to the length and significance of their writings in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament. These prophets, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, have longer books or prophecies compared to the "minor" prophets. Their messages are considered major in terms of their impact and influence on the religious community.
What is different between major and minor prophets?
The distinction between major prophet and minor prophet with respect to the Old Testament and Hebrew scripture is not necessarily intuitive. The minor prophets refer to a collection of writing of 12 prophets in a single book in the Hebrew scripture but broken into separate books in the Christian Old Testament (Hoseato Malachi). Major Prophet describes the longer books of prophecies in The Bible whose name matches the prophet it describes namely Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel.Elijah and Elisha would be considered in the top ten of prophets yet they are not "Major" prophets because their record is found in books of 1 and 2 Kings rather than in the prophetic writings. So the terms "major" and "minor" in this context refers to two groups of books and does not signify their importance.

What are the four major divisions of the Old Testaments?
I can think of two semi-obvious ways to make four divisions: The Historical books, the Poetical books, the Major prophets, and the Minor prophets OR The Pentateuch, the other Historical books, the Poetical books, and the Prophets. As may be obvious from those lists, it's rather more usual to make three divisions (history/poetry/prophecy) ... to make four, you've got to split one of the three.
