Slavonic Pseudepigrapha, Nubia, and the Syrians

A channel of a Syrian influence on the early Slavic literatures (responsible, among others, for 2 Enoch) goes back to the Severianist Paulist faction of the Syrian “monophysitism”.

2 Enoch has been translated from Greek (shorter rec.) and, then, supplied via direct translation from a Syriac version of a lost Greek original (longer recension).
