I would also suggest _Books of Enoch_ (Josef T. Milik, Matthew Black,
Oxford:Clarendon Press, 1976), in which Milik collects a number of witnesses
relating to Giant traditions in support of his theory that a Book of Giants
was part of a five book Enochic "pentateuch" among the Qumran sect. See
particularly pp. 298-364 and various places in passing. The subject appears to
be covered in fair detail in the index.
