Еще раз о фениксе и халкедри в славянской Книге Еноха (Енох 2)
Once Again about the Phoenix and Chalkydri in the Slavonic Book of Enoch (2 Enoch)

Summary/Abstract: 2 Enoch is a very peculiar Old Testament Pseudepigraphon. One of its special features is the presence of hapax legomena and the usage of well-known words in Slavonic tradition with different meanings. The paper deals with the “astronomical chapter” of 2Enoch, especially with the contexts where mythological birds (or angels? or winds?), phoenix, and chalkydri are mentioned. The particularities of the meanings of these creatures and several possible interpretations of them in 2 Enoch are considered against the background of the history of these images in different ancient traditions, taking into account different usages of the characters in question in the two main recensions of 2 Enoch.
