There is a Hebrew OT tradition continued as an NT Catholic tradition, if that helps?

The traditional view is that Moses wrote the book of Genesis. I was just wondering if there were any text of Scripture that said it or implied it.

Jesus refers to the OT as written by Moses and the prophets (John 1:45, and it's implied in Luke 16:16).
