In the face of such a list as the above, and it is by no means
exhaustive, it is hard to congratulate Dr. Schodde, and yet
we are grateful to him for the good service he has rendered
in introducing the knowledge of Enoch to the Western world.
I should add that Dr. Schodde's analysis of Enoch is :
i. The groundwork i-xxxvi ; lxxii-cv, before the death of
Judas Maccabee.
ii. The Similitudes xxxvii-lxxi, between 37-4 b. c.
iii. Noachic interpolations liv. 7-lv. 2 ; lx ; lxv-lxix. 25 ;
cvi-cvii.
He thinks it probable that xx ; lxx ; lxxv. 5 ; lxxxii. 9-
20 ; xciii. 11-14 are also interpolations.

Critical Inquiries.
I had intended to give a critical history of all the work
done on Enoch since 1850, and had collected almost sufficient
materials for that purpose, when I found that my space
would not permit of such a large addition to the book. I shall
therefore content myself with enumerating these inquiries and
adding occasional notes.
Lucke, Einleitung in die Offenharung des Johannes (2nd
Ed. 1852), pp. 89-144 : 1071-1073. Lucke regards the
book as consisting of two parts; the first embraces i-xxxv;
lxxi-cv, written at the beginning of the Maccabaean revolt
(p. 142), or according to his later view in the reign of J.
Hyrcanus (p. 1072)
; the second consists of the Similitudes
and was written in the early years of Herod the Great (p. 142).
lix. 7-14 and lxiv-lxvii. 1 are interpolations of an uncertain
date. In his first edition Lucke maintained the Christian
authorship of the whole book.
