Summary of Content | In Munier`s edition the text was not identified, tentatively "Livre d`Enoch" (Book of Enoch). Birger A. Pearson identifies it as fragments of a homily on the four living creatures of the Apoclypse of St. John (Rev 4,6-8). Another manuscript with this homily is in the Pierpont Morgan Library (M612), the present fragments correspond to paragraphs 25-27 of this M612 manuscript. In this section Christ gives a description of the four creatures in a dialogue with Thomas. |
