The Book They Left Out

Quoted in the Bible. Banned from it.

The New Testament quotes it by name: "Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied…" (Jude 14). The earliest churches read it. Then the councils came, and the Book of Enoch was left out of the canon of the West.

It should have vanished. Instead it survived two thousand years in the mountain monasteries of Ethiopia, copied by hand in Geʽez, complete: the Watchers, the two hundred angels of Mount Hermon, the Nephilim, the judgment to come.

Read the book they left out. Decide for yourself.

R. H. Charles, D.Litt., D.D.

Oxford scholar and the modern world's foremost authority on Second Temple apocalyptic literature. His 1912 translation of 1 Enoch, published by the Clarendon Press, has been the recognized scholarly standard for over a century. It is the text most cheap reprints copy without credit. This edition uses it openly, names it, and dates it.

Provenance, in full

  • Text: 1 Enoch, complete, chapters 1–108
  • Translation: R. H. Charles, The Book of Enoch (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1912)
  • Original languages: Aramaic → Geʽez (Ethiopic) transmission
  • Survival: preserved complete in the Ethiopian Orthodox canon
  • This edition: newly typeset and published by Enoch's Archive, MMXXVI; sources printed inside the book

Enoch is having its loudest century since the canon closed: debated on the biggest podcasts in the world, taught in seminaries, and the subject of documentaries with hundreds of millions of views. This is the book they're all talking about. (We name the phenomenon. No one has endorsed this edition, and we won't pretend otherwise.)

365-DAY

The 365-Day Watchers Guarantee

Read it. Sit with it. If at any point in the next 365 days you decide it wasn't worth it, we refund the purchase price in full. No questions, no return-shipping games.

For the first 30 days, keep the book. We refund you and you send nothing back. From day 31 to day 365 the refund still stands, we just ask you to post the copy back. The clock starts on delivery, not on the order.

Why We Made This

We went looking for a Book of Enoch worth owning and found a market full of fakes: invented author names, "88 lost books" that never existed, photocopied pages you can barely read.

So we built the edition we wanted: the complete text, honestly attributed, typeset with care, printed in the USA. Every claim on this page survives the same scrutiny we point at the counterfeits.

Enoch's Archive

Questions

Everything you'd want to know

Is this the complete Book of Enoch?

Yes: all 108 chapters of 1 Enoch: the Book of the Watchers, the Parables, the Astronomical Book, the Dream Visions, and the Epistle of Enoch. "Complete" is the whole point: most cheap reprints sell fragments padded with filler, or invent extra "lost books" that don't exist.

Which translation is it?

R. H. Charles (Oxford, 1912), the scholar whose translation has been the recognized standard for over a century. It's the same text many reprints copy without credit; we name it, date it, and typeset it properly.

When does it ship?

We ship free to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia: shipping is included in the price, however many copies you order. Your copy is printed and bound to order. That is what makes the First Printing a real edition, not warehouse stock. Allow about 2 weeks from order to delivery, with tracking the whole way. The included digital edition is delivered instantly, so you can start reading tonight.

Is this a religious product? Is it endorsed by a church?

No. Enoch's Archive is an independent press. The Book of Enoch is scripture in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition and a historical text everywhere else. We present it with honest provenance and let you decide what it means. No church, scholar, or podcast has endorsed this edition, and we'll never imply otherwise.

What if I don't love it?

The 365-Day Watchers Guarantee. For the first 30 days, keep the book: we refund you and you send nothing back. From day 31 to day 365 the refund still stands, we just ask you to post the copy back so it can go to someone who wants it. The clock starts on delivery, not on the order.

Is the cover real gold foil?

No, and we will say so proudly rather than let you find out later. The gold-frame seal is a printed ornamental design on a matte casewrap cover. A foil-stamped collector's edition may come later; First Printing owners will hear about it first.
