Were any books of Moses omitted from the Bible?

As far as we know, Moses never even wrote any books. Certainly, it is true that the first five books of the Bible are traditionally attributed to him, but that attribution is no more than tradition. There is nothing in the five books themselves to suggest, directly or indirectly, that Moses had any part in writing them. There is a wealth of evidence in the same books, that Moses did not and could not have written them. Moses never wrote any books that we know of, so none has been omitted from the Bible.
