1 Enoch article in latest JBL

THE JOURNAL OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE has a new issue out (129.3, downloadable here with subscription).

A number of the articles look interesting, but I noticed this one in particular: Randall D. Chestnut, "Oxyrhynchus Papyrus 2069 and the Compositional History of 1 Enoch" (pp. 485-505). It makes some advances on Milik's treatment, based on new access to the actual manuscript fragments.

The full TOC of the current issue is here.
