The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses
by Joseph Peterson
Though claiming to be lost books containing the secret wisdom God revealed to Moses, this was actually an invention of the 18th century. From its genesis in Germanic Europe, it spread to America and, through the entrepreneurial salesmanship of the occult book publisher William Lauron Delaurence, its influence spread to West Africa and the Caribbean, where it became a founding text of Rastafarianism.
