For many centuries the Book of Enoch was considered to be "lost" in the West. But its memory remained vivid in the Church and some important portions of the ancient Greek version resurfaced in the World Chronicle written by George Syncellus in the 8th-9th century. These Greek fragments were first published by Joseph Justus Scaliger in 1606 and discussed by Johannes Drusius in 1612. Jacques Goar translated them into Latin in 1652, when he published the editio princeps of Syncellus' Chronography.

In the 18th and early19th century the interest of scholars remained focused on these fragments, which provided the only textual evidence for 1 Enoch. Pompeo Sarnelli authored the first commentary on the Watchers (1710). Johann Albert Fabricius included them in his collection of the OT Pseudepigrapha (1713). Nicolas Antoine Boulanger and Paul-Henri Thiry d'Holbach used them in their dissertation on Enoch (1762).

In 1773 the explorer James Bruce finally reached Ethiopia and brought back in 1773 three copies of the Ethiopic version of the whole 1 Enoch. Silvestre de Salcy translated parts of them into Latin (1800), French (1800) and German (1801), and Daniele Manin into Italian (1820).

Eventually, Richard Laurence published in 1821 the first English translation of the whole 1 Enoch, followed by the editio princeps of the Ethiopic text in 1838.
