If we're seriously going to search the OT for the author or authors we first must find and separate all colophons in Genesis. Are you game?

I don't think I am. There is not a single solitary book in the whole of the Hebrew Bible that names an author. And I don't care what the colophons of various manuscripts say to the contrary. Hence, your "authors" will all be imaginary- like the characters of Tolkeins books or Lewis's chronicles of Narnia.
