this writer divides the Book of Enoch into
(1) Book of Celestial Physics, xvii-xix; xxi-xxxvi; lxxii-
lxxix ; lxxxii. (2) Historical Apocalypse, i-xvi ; lxxx-lxxxi ;
lxxxiii-cv (circ. no B.C.). (3)
Similitudes or Messianic
Apocalypse, xxxvii-lxiii ; lxix-lxxi (40-44 b. a), (4) Book of
Noah, lxiv-lxviii. It is worthy of notice that this analysis
is almost an exact reproduction of Lipsius' article in Smith's
Diet, of Christian Biography.

zu Berlin, 1892, li-liii. pp. 1039-54; 1079-92. This great
scholar has here resumed his old Apocalyptic studies, and
published an emended edition of the Gizeh MS., with a series
of corrections of the Ethiopic text also. That the bulk of
these is of great value goes without saying. For some further
notice of these papers, see p. 319.
