R. H. Charles (Robert Henry Charles, 1855–1931) was a distinguished Irish biblical scholar and theologian known for his work on apocryphal and pseudepigraphical literature of the Old and New Testaments. He made significant contributions to the study of early Jewish and Christian texts not included in the canonical Bible. A clergyman of the Church of Ireland, Charles was an expert in his field and produced several translations of important religious texts, including key works such as "The Book of Enoch" and "The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs." His translations remain influential and are still referenced by scholars and those interested in early Jewish and Christian literature. His work has made these ancient texts more accessible to English-speaking audiences and has provided valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of early religious communities.
