Synopsis

1 Enoch in Scholarship (History of research)

The Book of Enoch, "lost" in the West, has been preserved by the Ethiopian Church.

The traditional Ethiopian Commentary by Magābē Mesṭir Gērāwarq), so far preserved only in manuscripts, has been published in 2011 by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tawāhedo Church. The book is printed in Addis Abeba by Tensaē Printing press. Reference is made to Magābē Mesṭir Gērāwarq, specialist of Ethiopic Poetry and the Old Testament through his picture right before the beginning of the verse by verse commentary. The text is in Ge’ez and the commentary in Amharic. Instead of 108 chapters, 1 Enoch is divided into 42 chapters.

Only in 1776 the book of Enoch was "rediscovered" by Western scholars.

Hungarian translations of 1 Enoch are:

• Henok apokalypsise (1945 Hamvas), book

• István Baán (1980)

• Henok könyvei (2009 Froehlich/Dobos), edited volume
