Über dieses Buch
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).

Rezensionen
"This is a major achievement. Stuckenbruck brings to bear a wealth of learning and a circumspect judgment that are truly admirable. Readers will find the transparent presentation of the text and variants helpful [...] as well as the 100 pages (!) of indices. While debate on this literarily complex part of 1 Enoch will no doubt remain controversial, no paricipant in it can afford to ignore Stuckenbruck's magisterial work."
Lutz Doering in: Journal fo the Study of the NT 31.5/2009
"This new volume is a welcome addition to the critical scholarship on the Enochic literature and it should be consulted by anyone working with this section of 1 Enoch."
