Luis de Urreta
Luis de Urreta (1570-1636) was a Dominican Friar and Theology Professor at Valencia, Spain. In 1610 he reported the existence in Ethiopia of a copy of the "lost" book of Enoch, claiming to have found the title in a list made by Antonio Greco and Lorenzo Cremonese for the librarian of the Vatican Library, Card. Guglielmo Sirleto. According to Urreta's report, in the second half of the sixteenth century (perhaps in 1578-79) the two friers had visited Ethiopia as part of a delegation sent by Pope Gregory XIII to deliver some letters to the ruling king.
