Overview

Rabbinic Judaism maintained a sort of ambivalent view of Enoch, preserving both traditions which praise Enoch and traditions which rebuke him. Reference to Enoch are found in Kabbalist literature--in Sefer ha-Zohar by Moses de Leon and in Perush 'al ha-Torah by Menahem Recanati (13th century).

Enochic traditions (3 Enoch) were also known from the Sefer Hekaloth of R. Ishmael (ed. princeps 1864, and 1873).
