Milik, Jazef. T., ed. The Books of Enoch: Aramaic Fragments of Qumran Cave 4 (Oxford, 1976) Printed book. General Collections, Library of Congress.

"One of the most important apocryphic works of the Second Temple  Period is Enoch." - Milik, Jazef. T., ed. The Books of Enoch: Aramaic Fragments of  Qumran Cave 4

"The Book of Enoch is a pseudoepigraphal work (a work that claims  to be by a biblical character). The Book of Enoch was not   included in either the Hebrew or most Christian biblical canons,   but could have been considered a sacred text by the sectarians.   The original Aramaic version was lost until the Dead Sea   fragments were discovered." "The original language of most of this work was, in all  likelihood, Aramaic (an early Semitic language). Although the   original version was lost in antiquity, portions of a Greek   translation were discovered in Egypt and quotations were known   from the Church Fathers. The discovery of the texts from Qumran   Cave 4 has finally provided parts of the Aramaic original.   ...Humankind is called on to observe how unchanging nature   follows God's will." - Milik, Jazef. T., ed. The Books of Enoch: Aramaic Fragments of  Qumran Cave 4

"According to the biblical narrative (Genesis 5:21-24), Enoch  lived only 365 years (far less than the other patriarchs in the   period before the Flood). Enoch 'walked with God; then he was no   more for God took him'." - Milik, Jazef. T., ed. The Books of Enoch: Aramaic Fragments of  Qumran Cave 4
