==Overview==


The interest in Enochic Studies first developed in Italy in esoteric circles during the Renaissance. Pico and Panteo represent the two souls of the movement, the former more scholarly-orineted toward the search for manuscript evidence, the latter more engaged to rely on magical and visionary experiences. The attempt of Panteo to recover the [[Enochian Language]] had a follow-up in England with [[John Dee]] and [[Edward Kelley]], while the philological approach became predominant in Italy after the publication in 1606 by Scaliger of the [[Enoch Fragments of Syncellus]]. [[Scipione Sgambati]], [[Pompeo Sarnelli]], and later the young [[Daniele Manin]] published some of the earliest and finest commentaries on the Fragments.
'''Enochic Studies in Italy / Italian Scholarship on Enoch'''


In 1775 [[Agostino Antonio Giorgi]] was asked by Card. [[Leonardo Antonelli]] to examine a manuscript of the Ethiopic text of 1 Enoch present in Rome. Giorgi recognized the importance of the document but no edition or translation of the documents were made. The modern study of 1 Enoch would start in England with the manuscripts brought there from Ethiopia by [[James Bruce]] in those same years. Only some decades later, [[Angelo Mai]] acquired the manuscript for the Vatican Library.


No Italian scholars contributed significantly to the early development of Enochic Studies. Only Jesuit [[]] kept alive the interest with a few reports in the 1930s and an article in the Enciclopedia Italiana Treccani.

The renaissance of Enochic Studies in Italy occurred in the late 1970s, and once again the two souls of the movement reemerged, the esoteric approach of [[Mario Pincherle]] and the philological approach of [[Paolo Sacchi]].
