The volume is a commentary on 1 Enoch chapters 91-108 that begins
with the Ethiopic text tradition but also takes the Greek and
Aramaic (Dead Sea Scrolls) evidence into account. This section of 1
Enoch, which contains material from at least five different
documents composed some time during the 2nd century BCE, provides a
window into the early stages of the reception of the earliest Enoch
tradition, as it was being negotiated in relation to elitist
religious opponents, on the one hand, and in relation to other
Jewish traditions that were flourishing at the time. The
commentary, at the beginning of which there is an extensive
introduction, is structured in the following way: there is a
translation for each unit of text (including the Greek and Aramaic
where it exists, with the Greek and Ethiopic translations presented
synoptically), followed by detailed textual notes that justify the
translation and provide information on a full range of variations
among the manuscripts. This, in turn, is followed by a General
Comment on the unit of text; after this there are detailed notes on
each subdivision of the text which attempt to situate the content
within the stream of biblical interpretation and developing Jewish
traditions of the Second Temple period. The five documents in 1
Enoch 91-108 are dealt with in the following order: (1) Apocalypse
of Weeks (93:1-10; 91:11-17); (2) Admonition (91:1-10, 18-19); (3)
Epistle of Enoch (92:1-5; 93:11-105:2; (4) Birth of Noah (106-107);
and (5) the Eschatological Appendix (108).
