OT Textual Criticism Amateur

There's some info on De Wette's spread in Thomas Römer, “‘Higher Criticism’: The Historical and Literary-Critical Approach with Special Reference to the Pentateuch,” in Magne Sæbø, ed., Hebrew Bible/Old Testament: The History of Its Interpretation, III/1 (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2013), 393-423.

The story is a little hard to follow because it seems that everyone knew everyone and they were often competing.

But one element may be Karl Heinrich Graf's 1855 argument that Judges & Samuel do not presume a central sanctuary, and *therefore* the exodus Tabernacle "is a literary fiction that transposes Solomon's temple into the wilderness. This fiction, together with other similar texts in Exodus-Numbers, stemmed from the time of the exile." (Römer 2013:422)

It's quite a logical jump from "there was no central sanctuary in Judges" to "the tabernacle was modeled on the Temple."
