with some Christian insertions at the end. The whole work ends
with an appendix containing a Noachic fragment 106-107, and
a later addition 108. These views on the whole were on the

Pfleiderek, Bas UrchristentJmm, 1887, pp. 310-318. This
writer accepts the traditional view with regard to the ground-

a few years later. Many of this writer's statements on the
theology and influence of 1 Enoch are to be taken with extreme
caution.
