I’ve long been under the impression that the Ethiopic Enoch is regarded as authentic, while the Slavonic is regarded as a medieval forgery.

So the Cathars are OK now? Wow!

I can read Church Slavonic in various eras, and the picture as shown does not seem to me to have anything to do with Slavonic. Is it a generic picture of an old manuscript to serve as a prop?

The text in the photo is definitely Greek—but is it a canonical Biblical text or an apocryphal text?

“Such an explanation makes nonsense of the sharp divisions we normally draw between ancient and medieval religious worlds, and between early and medieval Christianity. Perhaps 13th-century Inquisitors in the era of Aquinas and Francis of Assisi -really were struggling against ideas that originated in Alexandria and Jerusalem at a time when the Second Temple still stood.”

Jenkins is absolutely right on this.
