I published a paper on the issue of pseudepigraphy in Ancient Judaism.

Moses and Enoch are both said to have written books, but their inclusion in the Bible was already debated in Antiquity.

One of the arguments invoked when discussing canonicity is authorship: Did Moses and Enoch really write their books?

You can read the paper and the whole volume here. I also attach a PDF archive below:

Langlois, Michael. “Did Moses and Enoch Write Their Eponymous Books? The Perspective of Ancient Judaism.” In Second Temple of Judaism: The Challenge of Diversity, edited by Gabriele Boccaccini, 29–31. Frankel Institute Annual 2022. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan, 2022.
