I-lAL:^:vy, ' Recherches sur la langue de la redaction primitive
du livre d'finoeli' {Journal Asiatique, 1867, pp. 352-395). This
most interesting essay sought to prove that Enoch was originally-
written in Hebrew. Unhappily the writer lost much time over
passages which better MSS. show to be mere corruptions of the
text. I have given several of the most probable of Halevy's
suggestions in my Notes.
Philippi, Bas Buck Henoch, sein Zeitalter und se'ui Verhdltnw
:um. Jiulashriefe, Stuttg. 1868. This writer agrees with Hofmann,
Weisse and Volkmar, in regarding the book as post-Christian. He
thinks it was written in Greek by one author, a Christian, about
A.D. 100. It is notable that all the four writers, who assign
a post-Christian origin to the book, have done so for dogmatic
reasons.

Gebhaedt, "Die 70 Hirten des Baches Henoch und ihre
Deutungen mit besonderer Riicksicht auf die Barkochba-
Hypothese' (Merx' Arcliiv fiir wissenschaftl. Erforschung des
A. r. 1872, vol. ii. Heft ii. pp. 163-246). In this most trenchant
criticism of the different explanations of chaps. 89-90 the writer
carefully refrains from advancing any theory of his own. Nay
more, he holds it impossible with our present text to arrive at a
true interpretation of the author's meaning. But this writer's
despair of a true interpretation is over- hasty and his condemnation
of the text is unwarrantable.
