First published in 1896, this volume contains an English translation of "The Book of the Secrets of Enoch", as well as some related notes. "The Book of the Secrets of Enoch" is an early work of literature probably lost for over 1200 years that presents a strange dramatization of eternity, including views on Creation, anthropology, and ethics. This ancient text will appeal to those with an interest in the origins of Christianity and is not to be missed by historians, anthropologists, and collectors of ancient literature Contents include: "Introduction", "The Book of the Secrets of Enoch. Translation and Notes", "Appendix. Melchizedekian Fragment", "Additional Note on the Phoenixes", "Index I. Passages from the Scriptures and Ancient Writers", and "Index II. Names and Subjects". William Richard Morfill FBA (1834 - 1909) was Professor of Russian and allied languages at the University of Oxford from 1900 to 1909. He was the first such professor in Britain and wrote many books on the subject, including "A Grammar of the Russian Language" (1889), "The Story of Russia" (1890), and "Slavonic Region" (1904). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this classic volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of readers now and for years to come.
