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 an apocryphal text considered sacred by some early followers of Christ, but excluded from the Western canon. Rediscovered in the 18th century, it was first translated into English in the 19th century and into German in the 19th century. The oldest complete copies of the Ethiopic Book of Enoch date back to the late 14th or early 15th century, while fragments found in Qumran are over 2,000 years old. The Slavonic Book of Enoch, another apocryphal text, was once present in the Old Slavonic Bible and is usually dated to the 1st century CE. The Hebrew Book of Enoch, a Rabbinic text, was written in Hebrew and dates back to the 5th century CE. This collection provides a unique insight into the apocryphal texts of the ancient world, offering a glimpse into the theological and mystical traditions of early Christianity.
