This edition was edited and translated, with a parallel translation of the Syriac text, by F. Leemhuis, A.F.J. Klijn, and G.J.H. Van Gelder.

The discovery of the Arabic text of this Jewish Apocalypse, usually dated at the end of the first century or the beginning of the second century C.E., is of considerable significance because, until now, it was only known from one manuscript with a Syriac text. The Arabic text is a translation of a Syriac version closely related to the existing Syriac text. There are eighty-seven chapters, many of which are very short.

This edition was published by E.J. Brill in 1986.
