Is There Indeed a Coptic 2 Enoch?


 In 2009, Joost Hagen made a remarkable discovery: he attributed four Coptic fragments from material excavated at Qasr Ibrim to 2 Enoch, since then most scholars no longer refer to this pseudepigraphon as “Slavonic Enoch”. Nevertheless, some works have appeared that question the authenticity of this attribution, the article deals with the problem and provides arguments in favour of Hagen’s identification of the fragments.
