Oldest Ethiopic manuscript of 1 Enoch

LOREN STUCKENBRUCK has been photographing the Oldest Known Text of Ethiopic Enoch (Anthony Le Donne).

A commenter asks about recent translations of 1 Enoch. My comment is in moderation, but meanwhile, the industry standard is George W. E. Nickelsburg and James C. Vanderkam, 1 Enoch: The Hermeneia Translation (Fortress, 2012). It is based on the magisterial two-volume Hermeneia commentary by the same authors:

George W. Nickelsburg 1 Enoch 1 (Fortress, 2001);

George W. E. Nickelsburg and James C. Vanderkam 1 Enoch 2: A Commentary on the Book of 1 Enoch, Chapters 37-82 (Fortress, 2011).
