Michael Langlois, Le premier manuscrit du Livre d’Hénoch. Étude épigraphique et philologique des fragments araméens de 4Q201 à Qumrân, Paris, Éditions du Cerf, 2008. 605 p.
This book presents a new study of the Book of Enoch‘s most ancient Aramaic manuscript, discovered at Qumran and bearing siglum 4Q201. It takes advantage of new computer tools (image processing, databases) to offer a palaeographical and philological analysis of each fragment composing this manuscript, with a systematic comparison to ancient Greek, Ethiopic, and Syriac witnesses.

Is there an English translaton of this?? Can you make one if there isnt??
No, the book is in French, and I have no immediate plan of producing an English edition… But thank you for your interest! Hopefully additional research will be done on the Book of Enoch in the future, especially in terms of epigraphy and philology.
