one of the antediluvian patriarchs, son of Jared, and father of Methuselah. After a life of 365 years spent in walking with God, he was miraculously translated into heaven. The apocryphal book bearing his name was composed originally in Chaldee or Hebrew, but both the original version and the Greek translation seem now irrecoverably lost. The loss of these has been partly supplied by the Ethiopic version, which Bruce brought home with him from Abyssinia, and which was translated into English by Dr Lawrence in 1821. From the chronological notes to be found in the book itself, Dr Davidson supposes it to have been written probably about n.c. 40; and, on this supposition, it throws considerable light on the Christology of the age preceding our Saviour's advent. Lücke and Stuart, however, suppose it to have been written by a Jew already instructed in Christianity. The language ascribed to Enoch in the Epistle of Jude, is to be found, with some variation, in this work.
