(who thinks Deut is early) and a tutor with initials P.S. (who thinks it is partly early and partly late).

I believe that, in fact, was what I was taught at university. sigh One could almost say that Deuteronomy was written after the prophets themselves (well, after first Isaiah and Jeremiah, during Ezekiel and second Isaiah), verifying their own prophecies…!!
