Charles’s 1912 translation has a history of its own: the source follows the SPCK edition of 1917 and its tenth impression of 1962. This edition contains all 108 chapters of 1 Enoch, with alternate passages and the source’s textual qualifications retained.
Chapter and verse references give you a place to return to. The symbol guide explains the marks along the way.
Choose it for the work itself and the pleasure of having your own copy. It contains no modern commentary or study course; the historical general introduction, scholarly footnotes and indexes are excluded.
One to keep. Another, perhaps, to give.
