==Overview==


The interest in Enochic Studies first developed in Italy in esoteric circles during the Renaissance. [[Giovanni Pico della Mirandola]] and [[Giovanni Agostino 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.

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.
== List of works (in Italian language)==


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]]. Paolo Sacchi made 1 Enoch the center of his studies on Second Temple Judaism and became the catalyst of an Italian school in Enochic Studies. In 1979 he launched the [[Henoch Journal]] and developed a theory that made to the Enochic concept of the origin of evil the generative idea of the Jewish apocalyptic tradition. In the 1990s his ideas were developed by his students [[Gabriele Boccaccini]] and [[Sabino Chialà]] and attracted the attention of international scholarship. In 2001 [[Gabriele Boccaccini]] launched the first [[Enoch Seminar]] in Florence, Italy. Ever since, the biennial conference has gathered international specialists in Enochic Studies and produced numerous publications. A new generation of Enochic Scholars in Italy has emerged with [[Luca Arcari]] and [[Pierpaolo Bertalotto]].
