Scriptorum illustrium maioris Brytanniae posterior pars <Latin> (1559) is a book by John Bale.

Abstract

Vol.2 of the second edition of John Bale's Illustrium Maioris Britanniae scriptorum summarium, published in 1548. At p.3 Bale repeated Guillaume Postel's claim in De Etruriae regionis (1551) that the book of Enoch was held as canonical in Ethiopia "in the Queen of Sheba's archives."

"Enochus, ex Iaredo procreates, septimus ab Adamo concionatur, homo prophetia clarus, ante diluuii tempora scripsisse legitur, de rebus diuinis. Eius opus etiamnum supersest pro canonica scriptura, in Aethiopia: & in ecclesiae reginae Sabbaeorum archiuis" (p.3).
