The Book of Enoch

lxxiv. 14: "To the sum of these are added sixty-two days," instead of "an addition is made to the sixty-two days."

lxxvi. 10: "After these northerly winds from the seventh portal," instead of "After these are the north winds: from the seventh portal," etc.

In the face of such a list as the above—and it is by no means exhaustive—it is hard to congratulate Dr. Schodde, and yet we are grateful to him for the good service he has rendered in introducing the knowledge of Enoch to the Western world.

I should add that Dr. Schodde’s analysis of Enoch is:—

i. The groundwork (i–xxxvi, lxxii–cv), before the death of Judas Maccabeus.

ii. The Similitudes (xxxvii–lxxi), between 37–4 B.C.

iii. Noachic interpolations (liv. 7–lv. 2, lx, lxv–lxix. 25, cvi–cvii).

He thinks it probable that xx, lxx, lxxv. 5, lxxxii. 9–20, and xciii. 11–14 are also interpolations.

§ 7. CRITICAL INQUIRIES.

I had intended to give a critical history of all the work done on Enoch since 1850, and had collected almost sufficient materials for that purpose, when I found that my space would not permit of such a large addition to the book. I shall therefore content myself with enumerating these inquiries and adding occasional notes.

LÜCKE, Einleitung in die Offenbarung des Johannes original: "Einleitung in die Offenbarung des Johannes" (German); "Introduction to the Revelation of John" (2nd Ed. 1852), pp. 89–144, 1071–1073. Lücke regards the book as consisting of two parts; the first embraces i–xxxv and lxxi–cv, written at the beginning of the Maccabean revolt (p. 142), or, according to his later view, in the reign of John Hyrcanus (p. 1072); the second consists of the Similitudes and was written in the early years of Herod the Great (p. 142). lix. 7–14 and lxiv–lxvii. 1 are interpolations of an uncertain date. In his first edition, Lücke maintained the Christian authorship of the whole book.
