Abstract

The Book of Enoch is one of our treasures that are recorded in UNESCO. It is an ancient composition which exists centuries before the birth of Christ. Even though it has been lost for over 2,000 years, the Gǝ‘ǝz version is entirely preserved and found in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church (EOTC) scholars had/still have a respect to look after it. Their understanding of Ethiopic Enoch is clearly reflected in the long and glorious tradition of Qǝne which is a form of poetic expression and expressive of the Ethiopian literary genius.
