After the 4th century the Book of Enoch was considered to be "lost" in the West. But his 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 Just Scaliger in 1606 and discussed by Johannes Drusius in 1612. Jacques Boar 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. Sarnelli authored the first commentary on the Watchers (1710). Fabricius include 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). Silvestre de Salcy translated them into French (1800) and German (1801), and Daniele Manin into Italian (1820).

In the meantime, however, the explorer James Bruce had finally reached Ethiopia and brought back in 1770 a copy of the Ethiopic version, of which Richiard Laurence published in 1821 the English translation, followed by the first edition of the Ethiopic text in 1838.
