The Book of Enoch the Prophet by Richard Laurence

Description

The Book of Enoch the Prophet is a book by Richard Laurence, first published in 1821. Laurence, an Anglican scholar and orientalist, produced one of the earliest English translations of the ancient apocryphal text known as the Book of Enoch, a work traditionally attributed to the biblical patriarch Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. Long excluded from the canonical Bible, this mysterious and visionary text offers a vivid account of fallen angels, divine judgment, and the secrets of heaven, blending myth, prophecy, and ancient cosmology. Laurence’s translation was instrumental in reviving interest in early Jewish mysticism and apocalyptic literature in the 19th century, influencing theologians, esoteric thinkers, and literary figures alike. The work remains significant for its insight into the religious imagination of the Second Temple period and its echoes in both Christian and occult traditions.
