In Simon's Histoire Critique, first published in 1678 in Paris and suppressed, "he denied that Moses was the author of the Pentateuch, arguing from the existence of duplicate accounts of the same incident and the variations of style. He is thus generally regarded as the father of OT criticism" (ODCC).
