Biography

Gabriele Boccaccini was born in Florence, Italy on March 24, 1958.

He earned his Laurea (1983) in Early Christianity from the University of Florence, Italy, and his PhD (1991) in Judaic Studies from the University of Turin, Italy (where he studied under Paolo Sacchi).

He was Visiting Scholar at Princeton Theological Seminary in the Winter 1989 and 1990.

In Fall 1992 he joined the Faculty of the Department of Near Eastern Studies of the University of Michigan as Adjunct Professor, becoming Assistant Professor in 1999 and Associate Professor in 2002.

He is now Professor of Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins.

In 2001 he founded and has directed ever since the Enoch Seminar. In 2006 he launched the Enoch Graduate Seminar, and in 2012 the Nangeroni Meetings. These series of international Seminars on Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins have attracted hundreds of scholars from all around the world.

In 2009 he created 4 Enoch: The Online Encyclopedia of Second Temple Judaism, which is expanding, year after after, with an average of 5,000-6,000 visitors per months.

From 2005 to 2011 he was the Editor-in-chief of the journal Henoch. In 2012 he became the Editor-in-Chief of Enoch Seminar Online.

On March 2012 he has became an American citizen.
