Umberto (Moshe David) Cassuto
Umberto Cassuto
{{PROFILE-PENDING}} — stub created for poster cross-link integrity. Italian-Jewish rabbi and biblical scholar (Florence, then Hebrew University of Jerusalem); in La Questione della Genesi (1934) and the lectures translated as The Documentary Hypothesis (1941) he argued the divine-name variation (Elohim/YHWH) reflects deliberate theological and rhetorical usage, not distinct documents — the leading 20th-century Jewish literary defense of Torah unity. Not in corpus (copyright); cited via secondary discussion and flagged.
