R.H. Charles’s 1906 translation of The Ethiopic Version of The Book of Enoch presents the most complete text of the 2nd century BCE Jewish apocalyptic work. It narrates the Enoch’s journeys through heaven and hell, the fall of the angels (Watchers), their illicit offspring, and apocalyptic visions of final judgment.
Charles’s translation is highly regarded for its detailed introduction, critical notes, and for providing the most complete version of this significant non-canonical text, offering deep insight into the apocalyptic, theological, and cosmological beliefs of the late Second Temple period.
