Abstract
Among the many issues raised by J. T. Milik in his edition of the Qumran Aramaic fragments of 1 Enoch, The Books of Enoch (Oxford, 1976-cited below as Books), there is also the question of the significance and form of the Enochic collection. The problem is not new. It has long been established by scholars such as A. Dillmann, Das Buch Henoch (Leipzig, 1853), and R. H. Charles, The Book of Enoch (Oxford, 1912), that the collection preserved in the Ethiopic version consists of five separate works: 1. The Book of the Watchers (BW): chapters i-xxxvi; 2. The Book of Parables (BP): chapters xxxviilxxi; 3. The Astronomical Book (AB): chapters lxxii-lxxxii; 4. The Book of Dreams (BD): chapters lxxxiii-xc; 5. The Epistle of Enoch (EE): chapters xci-cv and an appendix on the birth of Noah: chapters cvicvii.
