Overview

In The Slavonic Texts of 2 Enoch, Grant Macaskill publishes the manuscript evidence for this important pseudepigraphon in a format that, for the first time, allows synoptic comparison of the variants encountered. With the long and short recensions represented on facing pages, and variants listed against two exemplars (J and A), readers will be able to weigh the textual and linguistic evidence in a way that has previously been hindered by the available publications of 2 Enoch. The book also includes an introductory discussion of the manuscripts and the problems associated with text-critical work on them, and a translation of the neglected manuscript B, with notes on the significance of its readings for the reconstruction of an ur-text.

' Grant Macaskill has done a great job. Without any doubt his book is already now an indispensable means for the study of 2 Enoch . [...] Macaskill's book is an invitation to the landscape of Studia Judaeoslavica also to visit the old terrain of 2 Enoch which had long grown wild--- to settle there again and to cultivate the ground for further inhabitants. ' Christfried Bottrich, Ernst-Moretz-Arndt Unviersitat Greifswald, Journal for the Study of Judaism 45 (2014)
