內容簡介
內容簡介 The Books of EnochWith the Book of Giants, Dead Sea Scrolls Fragments, Angelology, Chronologies, and Editorial Appendices For centuries, the Enochic writings have stood at the crossroads of apocalyptic imagination, biblical tradition, and mystical speculation. This edition gathers together the complete texts of 1 Enoch (Ethiopic), 2 Enoch (Slavonic), and 3 Enoch (Hebrew), accompanied by a narrative reconstruction of the Book of Giants, restored from the fragmentary remains preserved among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Beyond the three principal books, this volume offers an extensive collection of critical apparatus and scholarly tools: Comparative tables highlighting the core themes, divergences, and historical layers of the three Enochic traditions. Chronological frameworks mapping Enoch's ministry, visions, and transformation across multiple literary cycles. Editorial notes on dating, authorship, language, and the transmission of each text. Appendices on angelology-including detailed registers of the fallen Watchers, lists of the principal angels, archangels, scribes, and celestial rulers found in 2 and 3 Enoch. Reconstructions of the giants' dreams and their apocalyptic significance. Visual aids and diagrams: a timeline of Enoch's life, the structure of the heavens in 2 Enoch, and an overview of the angelic hierarchies described in 3 Enoch. Glossaries and indexes of key terms and names, providing clear guidance for both new readers and seasoned scholars.
