Tradition says that Moses not only wrote Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, but the Book of Deuteronomy as well, which raises the question of why he would write another book containing much of the same historical narrative and laws and even use a different authorship style in doing so.
It appears that Deuteronomy was the book of law that 2 Kings 22:8 describes as 'found' by Hilkiah, the high priest, in the Temple, presumably to give the book the appearance of great antiquity. In case we feel that we should never doubt the religious authorities on these matters, this was not the only time that a scroll was first hidden, then found, so as to disguise its authorship. Jeremiah chapter 36 even tells how just a few years later, the scribes hid another scroll in the Temple, to be found and read to the king. The Book of Jeremiah demonstrates that the religious authorities were well aware of the practice.
There are good reasons for believing that Deuteronomy was written during the seventh century BCE and given to the people of Judah as part of the Deuteronomistic reforms being undertaken by King Josiah.

There are two options for the style of writing, depending on the time Deuteronomy was actually written.Tradition holds that the book was written by Moses in the fifteenth century BCE, during the Bronze Age. All known Semitic writings from the Bronze Age were written in a script known as proto-cuneiform.However, most scholars say that Deuteronomy was really written in the seventh century BCE, in a noticeably more modern form of Hebrew.
