'''Conjectures sur les mémoires originaux dont il paroit que Moyse s'est servi pour composer le livre de la Genèse''' <French> / ''Conjectures on the Original Memoirs which Moses Apparently Used to Compose the Book of Genesis'' (1753) is a book by [[Jean Astruc]]. 

==Abstract ==

Astruc's goal was to defend the Mosaic authenticity of the Book of Genesis in spite of the inconsistencies and contradictions noticed by authors such as [[Thomas Hobbes]] and [[Baruch Spinoza]] . Astruc identified four documents (or Memoirs) in Genesis which he claimed Moses wrote and were then combined into a single work by a later editor. Astruc was the first to argue what would become known as the [[Documentary Hypothesis]].

==Editions and translations==

Published in [[Brussels, Belgium]]: Fricx, 1753.
