Nyland: Enoch (2010)

3rd book of EnochDr. A Nyland‘s book, the “Third Book of Enoch” became available on Amazon.com last October. The author started her blog only in November, so she didn’t mention it there. She published the book through CreateSpaces, which is Amazon.com’s self-publishing company but it is also available at Smashwords, a self-publishing companies for eBooks. Her bio there says that she “is an ancient language scholar and lexicographer as well as horse care researcher who served as faculty at the University of New England, Australia.”

With this book Dr. Nyland has finished the translation of all three volumes. They are all available on their own or the three as a single volume, both as printed books and ebooks. I am providing links not just to the paperbacks Kindle version but to the Smashwords pages as well, because there you can buy the books in a variety of eBook formats and you can read a 15% long sample from each. Considering that the 3 books combined is only 262 pages long, you may just want to get that. The official description is under each book’s listing below.

    In 3 Enoch, Enoch ascends to heaven and is transformed into the angel Metatron. This is about the Merkabah and is of interest to Kabbalists.”

I didn’t have a chance to read them yet, but wanted to include these books on this website as many consider the book(s) of Enoch primary text for Jewish Mysticism.
