A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It ifl tinnecessary to apologize for the sppe ranca of this book, as Bome each work has long been a desideratam to ficbolan. A knowledge of noch is iodiapensable to New Teetament stndente. It would be beet perhapa, at the onteet, to mention briefiy the features in which this edition diifers from previooa editions of EuooL I. First, the Translation is made, in the main, from a British Mnseum MS. which is incomparably better than those on whieh Professor Dillmann s Ethioplo text is based. Bat as this MS., which I designate Q, is still unpublished, I have followed Dillmaim Btext, and, in every instance in whieh I have deviated from it in deference to 0or other British Maseum MSS., I have given in my Critical Notes the Ethiopic reading adopted, and Uiat as a rule as it stands in the MS. followed, though it may be vieione alike in orthography and syntax. These instances are in all about six hundred. It will be remarked tiiat on p. 4they are said to be three hundred and twenty-two. The explanation of this disorepanoy is to be found in the fact that the bulk of this book was already in type when the Qizeh MS. was published by M. Bouriant, and that I have allowed the Introduction to remain as it already stood before the publication of this Greek

Biographie de l'auteur

The author who revised The Book of Enoch made as (little) and (few) revisions in it as possible. For he desired to have the original text. But the fact is that there were several portions of the scroll of Enoch which renders various verses missing. There were literally pieces of the document of Enoch which were lost or destroyed. And so the author, having already written the entire book of Nathan the prophet and also having written the book of Gad the seer, felt well qualified to fill in the missing parts of Enoch. So without tampering with the parts of Enoch that we do have, the author, by faith, filled in the parts that we don't.
