THE BOOK OF ENOCH
(Edition with Original Illustrations and Annexes of the Dead Sea)Critical, Commented and Translated Edition of the Ancient Texts, with Illustrations.For more than a millennium, his name was only a whisper on the margins of history. Buried by the councils, proscribed by the canons and ignored by the empires, the testament of Enoch waited in the silence of the caves of Qumran and in the devout custody of the monasteries of Ethiopia. Today, the masterpiece of the Jewish apocalyptic of the Second Temple emerges in a definitive edition that brings together the complete Enochian corpus and its fascinating constellation of satellite texts.
This monumental work transcends mere philological reconstruction to offer a comprehensive journey to the sources of Western memory: from the mythical pact of the Watchers on the summits of Mount Hermon to the visions of the Son of Man on the Throne of Glory; from the secret mechanics of the stars to the scathing ethical accusation against the elites who oppressed the just.
"I saw the heavenly tablets and read everything that was written on them. And I understood that all good, joy, and glory have been prepared for the spirits of those who died in righteousness..."
- 1 Enoch 103:2-3
Enriched with rigorous critical apparatus, philological analyses, the Ten Weeks Apocalypse, and the Historical, Philological, and Theological Glossary, this edition also includes an exhaustive library of appendices recovered from the Dead Sea:
The Book of Noah: Revelations about the antediluvian corruption and the miraculous birth of the Flood patriarch.
The Book of Giants (4Q203 / 4Q531): The dramatic tale of the foreboding nightmares of the Watchers' sons and their desperate search for Enoch.
The Ascension of Moses: The Eschatological Testament on the Cosmological Judgment and Final Restoration.
The Rule of Community - Treatise of the Two Spirits (1QS): The theological embodiment of the cosmic struggle between Light and Darkness in the daily life of Qumran.
The Messianic Codex (4Q521): The key text that prophesies the resurrection of the dead and the good news to the humble, laying the definitive bridge to the New Testament.
An indispensable map for theologians, historians, biblical scholars and any seeker of knowledge who longs to decipher the origin of evil, cosmic justice and the inextinguishable hope of the humble and their divine rewards.
Complete text translated from Aramaic, Greek, and Ge'ez sources.
