The present edition of The Book of Enoch 2-traditionally known in academic historiography as the Slavonic Enoch or The Secrets of Enoch-represents an unprecedented hermeneutical and philological rescue effort in the realm of apocalyptic literature of Second Temple Judaism. Unlike the famous Ethiopian Enoch (Enoch 1), whose imprint weighs heavily on the judgment of fallen watchmen and earthly eschatology, this text offers an unparalleled immersion in the mystical cartography of the cosmos and in the ontology of divine revelation. The rescue of the manuscripts preserved in the ancient Slavic libraries has made it possible to exhume a cosmogonic structure of seven heavens and, most notably in its extended recension, the enigmatic priestly cycle that connects the lineage of Nir with the miraculous birth and pre-flood rescue of Melchizedek. This work is presented here not only as a priceless historical document, but as an intellectual bridge between ancient Hebrew thought, the Hellenistic influences of Alexandria, and the origins of the mysticism of the Hejalot and the Merkabah. With rigorous historical-critical clarifications and teleological notes at the bottom of each section, this edition invites the scholar and the spiritual seeker to walk through the veil of the firmaments, recognizing in the figure of Enoch the supreme archetype of human transmutation through sacred knowledge. The Third Book of Enoch (The Hebrew Apocalypse) is the boldest and most radical work of ancient Jewish mysticism. In its pages the most amazing metamorphosis in sacred history is narrated: the ascent of the patriarch Enoch to the chambers of fire, where he is invested with garments of eternity, crowned with the letters of creation and transformed into Metatron, the "Little Yahweh". A forbidden journey to the heart of the Merkabah, where the secrets of the cosmos, the archives of souls and the ineffable name are revealed without veils to Rabbi Ishmael by the scribe of the aeons himself. These books have illustrations and as if that were not enough, with abundant extra bonuses attached to the edition, with which your knowledge and imagination will be opened to the heights. Both, together with the book Enoch 1 already published by this author, reveal the sacred and profound, that honor and glory be to God, in his mercy we trust.
