Biblical archaeology; Judaism: sacred texts

This volume contains seven Aramaic manuscripts of a Jewish pseudepigraphic tradition from the Second Temple period that ascribes to Enoch, the biblical antediluvian patriarch, a series of heavenly revelations and visions. 4Q201, 4Q202, 4Q204, 4Q205, 4Q206, 4Q207, and 4Q212 published here partially overlap with the Book of the Watchers, the Book of Dreams, and Letter of Enoch and constitute the earliest textual witness to these pseudepigrapha. The fragmentary Aramaic text is accompanied by a paleographic description, grammatical and textual notes, reconstructions, and synoptic comparison with versional evidence. The Aramaic, Aramaic-Greek, and Greek-Aramaic concordances are based on the Aramaic text collated anew for the present edition. The book also comprises an edition of two Greek excerpts, together with a Latin and Syriac fragment of 1 Enoch.

The English of Drawnel's book reads well...The book contains a wealth of carefully and clearly presented material and is the authoritative edition to which scholars must now turn. * James C. VanderKam, Department of Theology, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, USA, Dead Sea Discoveries * Drawnel has raised the bar for critical editions of Qumran material, and his treatment of the Aramaic Enochic material presented here is the new standard edition. * Daniel M. Gurtner, Crestwood, Kentucky, Religious Studies Review * It is comprehensive, with extensive studies supplementing the edition and translation of the manuscripts themselves, and the reviewer commends this book. * Moritz F. Adam, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament *
