WiESBLEE, 'Ueber die Form des jiidischen Jahres um die
Zeit Jesu' {Beitrdge zur richtigen ffiirdigung der Evangelien,
1869). We have here an interesting and valuable discussion
of the Calendar in Enoch.
' Zur Abfassungszeit des Buchs Henoch ' {ZeitscJir. D. M, G.,
1882, pp. 185-193). Wieseler assigns the Parables no less
than the rest of the book to the reign of J. Hyrcanus.
SoHUEERj A History of the Jewish People in the Time of
Jesus Christ (translated from the second and Revised Edition
of the German), vol. iii, div. ii, pp. 54-73, 1886. This is
a most judicious statement of the results already attained by
criticism. Ili accordance with these Sehiirer divides the
book into three parts : (1) ' the original writing ' 1-36 72-105,
written in the reign of J. Hyrcanus ; (2) the Parables, written
in the time of Herod the Great; (3) the Noachian Frag-
ments, 54^-552 60 65-69^5, and probably 106-107. 108 is a later
addition. He is careful, however, to remind us that the
' original writing is composed of very heterogeneous elements '.
While he rightly dismisses as idle all attempts to introduce
chronological exactness into the interpretation of the Seventy
Shepherds, he thinks there can be no doubt as to where the
different periods are intended to begin and end. It was Sehiirer
who was the first to recognize the validity of Hoffmann's
interpretation of the Shepherds and to give it currency. This
article concludes with a very full list of patristic passages re-
ferring to Enoch and with an excellent bibliography of the
literature. In his third edition, 1898, pp. 192-209, he maintains
the same position.
