author describes the fall of the angels, their illicit commerce
with the daughters of men, giving birth to a race of giants
who invent all sorts of artifices and noxious knowledge.
Then vice and evil increase to such a pitch that the Almighty
punishes them all with the Deluge. He also relates his
two journeys to the heavens and across the earth, being
guided by good angels, and the mysteries and wonders he
saw therein. In the second part, which is a description of
the Kingdom of Peace, "the Son of Man" catches the kings

developed astronomical and physical notions. The fourth
author describes the fall of the angels, their illicit commerce
with the daughters of men, giving birth to a race of giants
who invent all sorts of artifices and noxious knowledge.
