David Suter

The 1970s came and 1 Enoch was still in limbo. Not surprisingly, the only major studies of the period were Matthew Black's edition of the Greek fragments in 1970, and a translation in Modern Greek (1973).

The edition of the Qumran fragments by Józef T. Milik in 1976 reopened the research on 1 Enoch. In 1978 Michael Knibb published of a new edition of the Ethiopic text, which for the first time compared it with the newly founded fragments (Knibb 1978).

The late date of the Parables of Enoch advocated by Milik was sharply criticized by many scholars, who reiterated the importance of the document for the formation of early Christology. In his monograph in 1979 David Suter relocated the Parables of Enoch as a Second Temple Jewish document.

The interest in 1 Enoch was on the rise again. In 1979 Paolo Sacchi launched in Italy the journal Henoch.
