Description

The Three Books of Enoch and the Book of Giants This collection of ancient texts includes the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, the Slavonic Book of the Secrets of Enoch, and the Hebrew Book of Enoch, as well as versions of the Book of Giants. The Ethiopic Book of Enoch, also known as the Book of Enoch, is considered apocryphal for the Western canon but is contained in the Ethiopic Bible. It was considered sacred by some early followers of Christ and was rediscovered in the 18th century. The oldest complete copies of the Ethiopic Book of Enoch date back to the 14th or 15th century, while fragments found in Qumran are over 2,000 years old. The book was written in different periods, with parts dating to the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE. The Slavonic Book of the Secrets of Enoch is another apocryphal text, found complete only in Old Slavonic manuscripts, and is usually dated to the 1st century CE. The Hebrew Book of Enoch, or 3 Enoch, is a Rabbinic text written in Hebrew and dated to the 5th century CE. This book provides a unique insight into the apocryphal texts of the ancient world, offering a glimpse into the theological and mystical traditions of early Christianity.
