There was a claim at Kingdom of Aksum that the book of Enoch mentions Axum. It was cited to someone named Murray “The Library: An illustrated history”. Any assistance in either assisting me in proving this wrong or else showing it to be somehow correct with an actual source on Enoch can head over there to the talk page. My removal has faced some resistance.—Ermenrich (talk) 13:23, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
I agree with you. Unless it is a later Ge'ez translation, there would be no possible way the earliest versions of the book of Enoch would mention Axum. Africologist (talk) 18:22, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

According to James H. Charlesworth in The Old Testament Pseudoepigrapha (vol. 1, p. 6) there exist also the following Ethiopic manuscripts:
Kebran 9/II (Hammerschmidt- Tanasee 9/11), fifteenth century (Atiopischen Handschriften von Tanasee; Wiesbaden, 1973, pp.107f)
Princeton Ethiopic 3 (Garrett collection -Isaac 3): eighteenth or nineteenth century (A Catalogue of Ethiopic (Ge'ez) Manuscripts in the Princeton University Library (Garrett Collection), Princ. Univ. Lib. 1973 p. 3)
EMML 2080: fifteenth (possibly 14th) century (a microfilm copy is preserved at St. John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota. in addition to the 17th-century manuscripts EMML 4437 and EMML4750)

Text smells strongly of translation, possibly from Italian? Manuscript names don't follow standard English-language conventions. Bill (talk) 21:36, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

This section needs some work. It's unclear exactly how the section is helpful as it doesn't really summarize the work or give important details, and it seems to be written from a religious perspective in some places (as well as, until I just changed at least some of it, seemingly using 'ancient aliens' nonsense as a source.

There is no possible way that the original Book of Enoch was written in Ge'ez. Translated into Ge'ez in the first millennium CE, yes. Africologist (talk) 18:24, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
The article should clarify that the pseudepicraphical Book of Enoch is an extended retelling of the brief account of Enoch from the Book of Genesis, and is based on a quote from James the Just's brother Jude the Apostle. The quote appears, foundationally to the Book of Enoch, in its opening chapter {1:9).
Jude's phrase about Enoch being the "seventh from Adam" is referenced in a later emendation to the Book of Enoch, that was not found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. This emendation, known as the Book of Parables, likewise contains other New Testament borrowings. 2600:8801:CA00:DDD0:1C38:461:747C:51E5 (talk) 23:01, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
The provided link is a personal blog, and as per WP:BLOGS it cannot be considered a reliable source, and therefore it cannot be used in Wikipedia. Sorry, these are the rules. A ntv (talk) 09:50, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, @A ntv: I wouldn’t be so quick in dismissing that blog. After all, the author is apparently Jude himself (“by Jude and the Book of Enoch”) so he ought to know, right?—Ermenrich (talk) 12:05, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just a continuation of the IP's attempt to get their original research added to Wikipedia, after they have been told NO multiple times. Making your own website doesn't somehow make it not OR. Get it published in a peer-reviewed journal or as a book: we don't source from blogs or personal websites. Skyerise (talk) 19:48, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
