''' 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.
