Abstract
This two-part article presents new evidence and proposals for the original names of the wicked angels listed in 1 En. 69:4–15 and an interpretation of the passage in light of the new proposals. Nine names (plus one additional term) are involved. Contrary to the assertions of most scholars, the names have been remarkably well preserved in the Ethiopic text, and the purpose of the whole is best explained in light of the anti-Babylonian polemic proposed by Henryk Drawnel as the driving force behind the similar angel listings in 1 En. 7–8.
期刊介绍：
The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
