Physical Description:
  • 81 leaves ; 18 cm.

Origin:
  • [1801?-1900?]

Notes:

  • Ms. codex.

  • Title supplied by cataloger.

  • Physical description: 1 vol. (18 x 13 cm); 81 folios (fol. 81r-v blank), 2 columns, 22 lines. Space left for owner's name left blank, fol. 80v.

  • Text in Ge'ez language. The manuscript is part of the Robert Garrett Collection of Ethiopic Manuscripts, 1600s-1900s (C0744.03). Gift of Robert Garrett, 1942. The Ethiopic Book of Enoch (or 1 Enoch) is a complete Ge'ez translation of an ancient Jewish religious text, which claims to have been written by Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church regards the pseudepigraphic text as canonical. The present manuscript was one of those used in R. H. Charles, ed., The Book of Enoch, Translated from Professor Dillmann's Ethiopic Text... (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1893). Rebound by Mick LeTourneaux (Princeton University Library, Preservation Office) in an Ethiopic-style binding; the 19th-century European binding is in box. The old binding has the stamp of H. C. Reichardt, who can be identified as Henry Christian Reichardt (d. 1897), a missionary for the London Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. Robert Garrett (1875-1961), Princeton Class of 1897, probably acquired the Enoch manuscript shortly after Reichardt's death. Concerning manuscripts of the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, see Ted M. Erho and Loren T. Stuckenbruck, "A Manuscript History of Ethiopic Enoch," Journal for the Study of Pseudoepigrapha, 23:2 (2013), 87-131 (Garrett Ethiopic Manuscript no. 42 discussed on pp. 105-7).

Has there ever been an instance of an active nuclear power plant within or near a war zone?

36 3 The question Has there ever been a military combat going on around an active (running or in outage but not decommissioned) commercial nuclear power plant? Or dangerously near it? If yes, how did the plant and its personnel fare in such situation? Why I ask Let's assume for the scope of this question modern commercial nuclear power plants (CANDU, PWR, BWR of generation II plus all of gen III and newer) are usually reasonably safe to operate given that the engineering has been done right and there is a whole cohort of very well trained personnel on-site at all times, well rested and with considerable resources on their hands. Things hard to get with an armed conflict like the recent Syrian war raging around. I can't seem to find any reference or a comprehensive article about this, hence this question.
