The Antediluvian Past from the Fifteenth to Nineteenth Centuries","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe books of Enoch are famed for having been “lost” in the Middle Ages but “rediscovered” by modern scholars. But was this really the case? This volume is the first to explore the reception of Enochic texts and traditions between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. Bringing specialists in antiquity into conversation with specialists in early modernity, it reveals a much richer story with a more global scope. Contributors show how Enoch and the era before the Flood were newly reimagined, not just by scholars, but also by European artists and adventurers, Kabbalists, Sufis, Mormons, and Ethiopian and Slavonic Christians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations   Notes on Contributors       Introduction    Annette Yoshiko Reed, Ariel Hessayon and Gabriele Boccaccini      Part 1: European Traditions and Trajectories before James Bruce’s “Discovery” and Its Impact   1 Enoch Lost and Found?    Rethinking Enochic Reception in the Middle Ages    Annette Yoshiko Reed      2 The Book of Enoch in Relation to the Premodern Christian Doctrines of Spiritual Beings    Euan Cameron      3 Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Enoch, and Hermetism    Giulio Busi      4 Earliest Commentaries on 1 Enoch before Laurence    Pompeo Sarnelli (1710) and Daniele Manin (1820)    Gabriele Boccaccini      5 Enoch and the Genesis of Freemasonry    Tobias Churton      6 Blake’s Enoch before the Book of Enoch    Francis Borchardt      7 Enoch in the Tradition of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day  Saints (Mormonism)    Jared W.
