Apparently, we have all of it, but it is all in Ethiopic with large sections from various manuscripts in Greek. There are also parts of other spurious books included with it that are not Enoch, the Book of Astronomy does not seem to belong, and the work has never been modernized into readable chapters and verses. The book was lost to the West for hundreds of years until rediscovered around the turn of the 19th c. It was considered an important discovery since some earliest church fathers (70 AD - 250 AD) used it extensively and claimed it was inspired Scripture that was removed by Jews because it prophesied too explicitly of the coming of Christ.
